Dear Father
I received the letter written by Mother in your name some time since stating that she was going to
Charleston though I suppose you have got back by this time I hope
the trip has improved your health and also that Mother enjoyed herself. Chapel Hill is dull and the course
altogether monotonous. I wish you would permit me to leave College. I know while I am writing what your answer will
be nevertheless I think that I ought to let you know that I am not doing

any thing this session I hope Sir in your reply
you will not be harsh for I considered it my duty to do as I have

Your affectionate son
