Dear Lawrence,
I received a letter from you Friday dated Sept 1st I think and another one yesterday dated Sept 7. In the first one you give me a blowing up for not sending you more news and in the next one the same with the additional information about the evening of mail steamers. I am sorry that I have not send you news items but you may remember that I had just returned from W.P. and was as hunry for news as you were. I might as well have been in South America for all that I heard outside of West Point. When Seba came up there it seemed so good to hear from here, and then about the time I got here I had that very "blue" letter from you in which you said you had malarial fever and I did not have another letter from you again for nearly three weeks which made me nearly out of my mind, because I did not know what to expect to hear from you at any time. I think however I did send you clippings from the Journal before I went to West Point and I have tried to lately save most that you would be interested in. Of course during the summer the Uni. people were all away and there was hardly ever anything in about any of them, and then again
