Saying he is leaving his mother for a little while and going abroad and hoping that Tom will continue to write to his mother as "all your beautiful letters to her, on which she now indeed rests for much comfort and for the only real companionship that is left her;" saying that he has fallen short of his hopes and plans but that he trusts that what he will see from his first work at Oxford will be well done; thanking him for his abiding friendship.
