Has heard only once from Sarah Livingston Jay and not at all from his father and brother, a fact that gives him much anxiety. If she should hear any news from Rye, she should let him know. Hopefully he will be able to come home for Christmas, but wishes them to anticipate the worst; their expectations should not be raised without the certainty of fulfilling them. Wishes to hear nothing but that she is in good health and good spirits.
