Writes with fatherly concern to his daughter that he has learned of her illness and hopes that she is recovering. Advises that though he is anxious to see her, she should only travel if she is strong enough. Mentions that his eyes have been very sore for a few days but are better now. This delayed the men working on the roof of Monticello and he is anxious to have it done.
