Summary
Received your letter of April 28; handwriting has improved. Ask your brother to assign you and Nancy a piece of the garden; be mindful and weed. "Make it a rule to do everything in the best manner, and take pains to learn what that best manner is." Do not spoil little Tom. He will not be pleased in the future with those who have indulged his whims now. Saying this not because has seen problems, but because thinks them worthy remarks.
