Dr. Fellows

I will not ask of you to caution my prodigi [sic] against the usual ceremonies of the initiation as I have become convinced that they are no disadvantage but only that he may be spared the most mortifying.

I have been spending my time at home very delight-fully in the midst of my relations whom I found all well. I have been visiting most of my time and have not gotten quite normal yet. Next week I expect to start out on a travel. Cannot you both find time to drop me a line? Truly you Henry T. Lee.
