Commenting on Frederic's long silence and speculating on why he has not written (his mother believes he is sick, and his father is worried that his class standing is one "that he is unwilling to let [his father] know"); noting that now that Frederic is fourteen, he should "comprehend [his] duties to [his father], as well as to [his] future self; hoping "soon to receive good reports about" Frederic.
