Letter summary:
Joseph is sending a shirt home but, since he has only two pairs of shoes, cannot spare the one that was requested. Asks that ‘if those [shirts] that you are going to make are for me I hope you will make them with ruffles at the breast’. He asks for a complete set of new clothes on his return in two weeks. ‘P.S. I began this last Saturday but my room being occupied I have not been able to finish it till now, June 3rd. We are going to recite on Friday night before a greater number of spectators than we have ever done before’
