My dear son Nearly a week has now elapsed since we have heard from you and I begin to feel uneasy fearing that you might be unwell or that something of a painful or unpleasant character may have happened to you Rendering you unwilling or indisposed to the task of writing home. I have not mentioned my fears or suspicions to your ma, or any member of the family, for any in information of the kind from me would alarm them beyond measure. If I am right in my impressions I hope you will not again be detained from writing from writing to us at home because you have met with trials and disappointments and insults and apprehend that by writing home under a feeling of gloom or a depression of spirits you might make us feel unhappy uneasy about
