My Dear Brother -
It is a long time since
I have written to you, but you know well
that in the number of letters which make up
the the great bulk of our correspondence you
have not the advantage of me.
However, I will now commence by wishing
you a happy New Year, and many returns of it,
(as an Irishman would say). I send you a New
Year's Gift, enough for a good frolic, and will
write you hereafter letter for letter.
Pray how do you succeed in your
College Studies? I hope to see you graduate
at the head of the class, but I hope also
that you will not apply yourself so closely to
your studies as to injure your health
I read your poetry in the A.E. Magazine
with much pleasure and I am sure that
if you go on you will succeed in literary
pursuits as well as scientific.
Excuse this short letter - Your affectionate Brother
D.E. Hale
