I did not return from Trenton 'till the night of the 6th— yesterday afternoon I walked to the hospital to inquire respecting your son. He appeared very much pleased to see me and at once accosted me by my name. His general health appears better than when he went there, having taken some medicines & lost blood. His state of mind is much the same. In answer to questions which I put to him respecting his treatment & situation, he expressed himself well pleased & satisfied. Indeed <his> clothes & general appearance proved that he receives every proper <mutilated> and attention. He walks in the passage below stairs when he <mutilated> and goes out when the weather will permit. Whe<n>ever <it> is in my power, I mean to call to see him. <mutilated> from t<ime> to time give you such information respecting him as you m<ay> wish to hear. With respectful Complts to Mrs Lee I am very sincerely yrs
