Summary
Reporting that he had a cold and fever last week but is now nearly well; telling her that her sister Maria "has come to a resolution to write to [her] no more. Whether this arises most from resentment or laziness I do not know"; asking Mr. Randolph to send updates on "the progress of my affairs."
