Fort Sully D T

    July 17, 1884

My dear Boy,

 Yours of 14th reached me this p.m. & I shall wait for Saturday's mail with great anxiety.  You are worked up to so high a pitch of enthusiastic anticipation that a very slight reverse is apt to upset you.  I hope the best & allowing for youth you are yr Daddy's boy himself over again.  I get enthusiastic & ardent, work with all my might & mean to attain my end but if I fail there's an end to it.  I never worry & I believe youinherit that peculiarity to an extent that will save you from borrowing trouble. or taking trouble too much to heart.  I thought you were to open earlier & have been greatly disappointed when my papers gave no account of you.
