    My Dear Son,

    …Was glad you was feeling good even if you had to work hard. But work is pleasent if you like the work you have to do and I have every reason to think you do. Dr. Cushing did not burden you with presents.…

    People are beginning to plough and getting ready for spring. This county is rather hilly up one and down another. It looks nice to see large hills a few miles away and mountains past them…. We went to visit one of the national schools. The young man teaches it that goes with Maggie your cousin. And he gave us an invitation and we enjoyed it fine listening to them sing and dance and showed us samples of their work. It is just a little county school.…

    I had a few minutes talk with one of the engineers on the passenger train that I rode on when we visited Warren Point. He said they where very strict with them, would not let them work with glasses, examined them every year and if anything was wrong with them they discharged them. I would prefer the States as far as I have seen as yet to work in. In fact so far to live in, but we have not given England a good try.…

    Have you heard anything that would indicate wheir you will be next year? If you could get time to write up your articles they might open the way for something. Did Dr. Cushing's men ever discover anything adverce in your findings?

    Your affectionate Father
