George Thompson writes his daughter Amelia stating that he was prevented from immediately responding to her letter received the previous day owing to a "nervous affliction" affecting his writing hand. Thompson provides Amelia with an update on the activities and health of the immediate family, and announces that while he has something weighty to convey, he will save this news for another occasion.
