Nat(?) Abram and William have gone to the Flannery's and I and little Mary Louisa are entirely alone. I thought I would spend some of my lonely hours in writing to you my dear son, you who by day and by night occupy so much of my thoughts and anxious feelings.

That you were resolved to be a student therefore a scholar. (but by the way my dear child I fear you have undertaken more than you will do well, those tickets are very expensive and if you don’t do them justice by studying you had better not undertake so much for fear nothing will be done well. And a little well done is a great deal better than a lot half done.) I said above my hopes were raised and I began to be somewhat reconciled to your situation, when I was told again that at the university there was a practice of having balls and _____ and that the students were in the habit of frequenting these places; and that you had also been attending them. Is it _______ Thomas -- - If so I bid farewell to every advantage from your books, and so may you, can you for a moment think it(if?) ________ a student’s business to attend these places, _______ his time taking his _______ from his books spending his money and exposing his health; and this is not all, the worst part is committing so much in disturbing your mother and all your friends who feel _______ for you.

You a thousand times better be at Hampden Sydney where there are no such places to attend. It was such things as these I dreaded at the university, for I knew there was no religious influence there. You did not tell me any thing[sic] about the church you attended or ____ you ______ ______ remember my dear child you have to _____, we hear of sudden deaths of old and young and middle aged dying we have no time to spend in folly and wickedness for we know not the day or the hour when we may be called too lay(?) these things seriously to heart(?).
