Summary
Saying that she thinks that his time must still be taken up by his pain because she hasn't heard from him for so long. She was ill for a week, and as soon as she felt better, she spent all her time with her sons. They touchingly tried to make her think positive thoughts about the child [unidentified, mentioned in other letters] who could not recover from his illness. All this emotion forced her to have to rest again; rest seems to be becoming her entire existence and is quite boring.
