'My dear Father and Mother, Your letters received with thanks. My book is being printed by Thorne, Stiff, and Payne, among other people. Is that not appropriate for a neuralgic author? The pain has decamped once more and gone to my shoulder blade where it hurts worse; but is out of the way of the lungs anyway. I had another worry with the doctor today; he gives me a clean bill; but says I must take care for a little […]. What does my father mean by the "references to the book"? What book? and where? And how? And what am I to do with them? […] Do explain about the "references to the book" […].'

'My dear people, I shall tell you as soon as I am able to come over: and I can say no more. How can I? I hope it will be very soon, but it cannot be immediately. I did not answer my father’s proposal by return of post, as he asked, because I hoped I should be able to give a more definite and satisfactory answer; but I cannot yet.
I am so glad to hear that Janie is better. What a pitiful thing about Chalmers! The bulletin looks bad. I hope he will pull round; for he is one of the best people going.'
