Thanks God for having "so kindly brought you [Lucy] the perils of child bearing." Hopes she will have a quick and complete recovery and asks that she "[f]old the dear infant in your arms and bid her welcome with all the energy which my heart at this moment experiences and which is evidenced by the overflowing of my eyes." Discusses plans for Lucy and "her lovely flock" to travel to New York, where he will hopefully be able to meet them. Expresses some anxiety about his son.
