Description
Acknowledges receipt of his parents' letter and telegram, as well as the money they sent. Explains lack of correspondence by mentioning that he was ill and busy the rest of the week. Assures his parents that every absence from class or other activities was caused by a legitimate illness, but that the illness was not life threatening. Says that there has been a great deal of sickness in Oxford, namely typhoid fever, which has killed people he knew. Assures his parents that his dancing and decision to go calling are not indicators of improper behavior, but tells them he will avoid it, anyway. Mentions visiting Percy before Church.
