- Summary
- Congratulates her on the return of her health and that of her little girl. If Sarah Livingston Jay were with them still, she would share in the joy. Thanks for his birthday message. Also wishes to remind her to think about another birthday, that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Cautions against too-frequent letter writing and causing anxiety by omitting everyday details. Asks her to trust fully in her husband, as a matter of general advice, not because he thinks it is necessary to say so.
