Perhaps were made sick almost or quite. I am anxious to hear. Take time, and rest yourself; and be careful of yourself. And do write often, & particularly. Do not think you must hurry back. Take time to make your visit, and recruit yourself by absence from the toilsome cares of your family. Write frequently, and we shall get along.
