Robert Cambridge thanks his father for offering him assistance during this difficult time when he has neither an income nor any prospect for establishing a business. He accepts his father's offer for relief, and states his plan to move himself and his family to his father's house where he will try to find a business to suppport himself. Robert Cambridge also expresses his belief that his father's iron works is "decaying," and encourages his father to let them go, as they yield more trouble than profit.
