Dear?. 19th? Very Dear Johnny, I was truly glad to see the scratch of your pen once more I did not really think I was never going to hear from you again, but it did seem very long since I had heard, and then it was just as I have thought, busy, busy. Oh Johnny, you must not keep yourself so absorbed in business, why by the time you get old if you live that long, you will be little better than a sewing machine no comfort to yourself or anybody else you are forming habits for age, see to it that they are such as will ensure the benefit and comfort of your family and yourself, it is well, it is indeed a an imperious duty to work and provide for the future, but not at the sacrifice of duty. I take it to be every one's duty to be useful and agreeable, as they go along the journey of life and not wait till they get to the end. You will find that your children have enquiring minds, it is your duty to instruct them.
