Summary
Saying he is happy to see she is well again; talking about a university education; saying "three years work well given at any period of life, among sensible men, is a university education. Rough times are coming in which it will not be asked of men what they were taught at Oxford, but what they can learn now;" saying that "a good long sea voyage, with sailors work to do, or long travelling [sic] in difficult places, might do me good."
