Abstract:
Young man studying law writing to a colleague, joking he was "on the point of issuing a search warrant to search your fertile brain for something like what I have this day received." Retracts his compassion for Nesmith's silence, as he learned Nesmith was not ill. Assures Nesmith he is not in love, believing his mother has painted a misleading picture. "… she must be a fabrication of my good old Mother H's fruitful imagination, and that she is as invisible and untangible as the fair Dulcinea of Don Quixote." Despite the beauty of local woman, intends to remain unattached. Comments on their friend's new relationship. Plans to study in Cambridge, Massachusetts, soon and encourages Nesmith to secure a clerkship.
