Scope and content
Claims to be really ashamed to have been the cause of so much trouble. Explains that his wife is still nervous about his undertaking anything, and fears that he must again 'adjourn' himself 'and let the foundations of morality remain unshaken till October.' Remarks that at his time of life 'recovery is a most wearisomely slow process', but believes himself to be regaining strength. Remarks that if he cannot recover by October, he is unlikely to recover at all.
