My father passed a
tolerable night; you must be aware that any improvement in his condition must
be gradual, as the prostration he labors under came on in the same way. I have
been nowhere, and made as few acquaintances as I could; I am confined all day to
his rooms, and last night was up until twelve o'clock, as James appeared
anxious to go out.
I am doing everything
that I can to render his situation as comfortable as possible, allowing myself
but little time even for a walk.
