My dear Uncle,
Your letter of the 6th has been received. I am
under many and great obligations to you, and this last very
generous offer has only increased those obligations. No one could be
more sensible than I am of the advantage it would be to me to
secure an interest in the professional business of this, your office
and the terms upon which that interest can be secured and so easy
that it would be worse than folly for me to reject them. I therefore
with all thankfulness, and with a due appreciation of your kindness
accept the offer you have made, and trust that time will show
that I am not ungrateful, or forgetful of the condition upon
which it was made.
I this morning received a letter from Frederick Whittlesey

, writing me to come
there and study and room with him. It would be of service
to me I think to spend one term at Harvard in order that
I might acquire a facility in extemporaneous delivery, and some
knowledge of the practice of the Law. I submit my wishes upon
this subject to your better judgment- Knowing that you will decide
what is best for me. Mr Griswold
