Summary
Saying he cannot visit because he had as much "grave talk with my mother as I can healthily take;" saying "it is considerably difficult for me to keep alive; and this difficulty would be increased by all visits to town and metaphysical talks--I much dislike talking in general--now, with anybody and all my friends."
