Provides his son with details about various friends and family members. Admits he previously published one of Joseph's letters without his permission and asks if he can continue doing so. Writes to him, "The recent News of the taking of Richmond has cheered the hearts of those who are anxious for the Suppression of the Rebellion and the dawn of Peace." There are two small holes on the left side of the letter, causing text loss.
