I was there until August and gave satisfaction for when taken sick with the fever I proposed to go north I was solicited very strongly not to go and if I went to return. I had a long and serious attack of the Chills and fever and was broken in health and constitution when I came north Now I am entirely recovered and am anxious to do something to regain a position and to mend my slender means. I have a mother and sister who are partly dependent upon me and may be soon wholly so. Any help which you can give me towards making my ability and Education useful will be thankfully received.
