Religious advice, written after the death of Julia's grandfather, Joseph Marx.

Letter of religious and practical advice on leaving home.

Letter of condolence.

Gives Julia advice concerning her desire to join the church. He urges her to talk with Mr. Norwood. J. will send her some books which she will find instructive.

J. apologises for not writing, but his ministerial duties leave him little time for himself.  He hopes Julia is not teasing when she says she wants to visit, she could combine it with a visit to her Uncle Robert.  J. offers spiritual advice to Julia.

J. has been at Convention, he met Julia's Uncle David there. It is very rainy and hot, the crops are suffering and there is an outbreak of fever. The Grammer family is well. J. has been spending much of his time visiting the sick.

J.'s health prevents him from visiting Julia's family in Frederick. He fondly recalls previous visits when he discussed agriculture with Julia's father. J. has two single friends living near Julia whom she might "set her cap for."

J. returned home last week after a trip to Richmond and received Julia's letter announcing her engagement. He congratulates her and offers marriage advice. Julia is suspicious of her Aunt Walker's feelings.

[very light and faded, difficult to read] Letter concerns illness and the difficulties brought on by the war.
