My dear Son,
I have this moment received your
letter saying you are not well which makes me
extremely anxious– Had I not been ill myself
I should by this time have been on my way
to West Point— I have been confined to my
room nearly two weeks with a severe cold
and an affection of my liver– am still
unable to sit up all day– I hope I may
have strength to come to you next week
in the mean time do write me a line
when you receive this and let me know if
you continue to get better— if your
diarrhea continues I wish you would
make use of the homeopathic remedies
you Grandpa
from the use of them in this disease

You say I need not bring the comforter
but do not say whether I shall bring another
pair of blankets which your regulations
require you to have– have you supplied
yourself with them there or shall I bring them
I am so unwell that I have given up
going to New York and shall return imme-
ediately home from West Point– Do not
fail to write a line as soon as you
receive this— if you are not well enough
ask your room mate
May God bless and protect you
your affectionate Mother
