Westfield 4 Oct. 1841.
My dear Uncle,
I arrived here on Saturday evening last, and
am making my arrangements to leave again for the East on
to-day week. you are aware that I take with me the
sacred relics of a departed Mother

. Shall I see you
as I pass thro’ Albany?
When you were here I had not determined
whether or not to relinquish my studies, but I am now
inclined to believe it best to return to College. For the
last three years I have been living in New York

telling him I want $500. of him. When
here you remarked that if the funds could not be obtained
of him, they perhaps might elsewhere. can they still be had?
I must see you in Albany, & hope to be there
in some 8 or 9 days after leaving here, but it is impossible
to determine the exact time it takes a line-boat to make
its trip from Buffalo
