Pebblehill Academy February 15th 1833
Dear Mother,

I was very sorry that I did not find a letter in the Post Office from some one of you, but Henry Crabb received a letter from his Mother, and I was very glad to hear, that the Cholera was not as bad as it has been: it was reported that there was a few cases of the Cholera in Murfreesborough [Murfreesboro] , but I believe that it is a mistake.

I was in Murfreesborough [Murfreesboro] on Saturday last and Aunt Peggy Taylor gave me the stocks which you had the kindness to send me; the velvet one was a great deal too large, but the other one fitted me pretty well.

Nothing would please me more than to receive a letter from you My Dear Mother, but knowing that you are generally unwell, I do not want you to write when you are unwell, for fear that you would fatigue yourself, but I hope that you will write to me before I return.

I want to see you all very much in deed, and you in particular, since I left home, I have found out since I have been up here that there's no place like Home; I lik [like] Mr. & Mrs Black very well and I think that they are very fine people and they have treated me very well.

The session is only five weeks longer. I am very well. Give my love to all the family. Tell Mr. Douglass that Henry and John are well. Tell Father that he must answer my letter,

I am your affectionate Son
Robert C. Foster Jr.
