she wished me to send you a dollar when she received the picture, but I thought I 

 could spend it better, so declined. She sends you a great deal of love. 



Attend to your studies with diligence, for in four or five years your school-education 

 must terminate. I intend you for a man of business, for such are the most indepen- 

 dent and happy. To become such will require the attention of several years, so you 

 will perceive the importance of your time. I hope to see you industrious and provi- 

 dent. These are virtues enjoined upon us in the Sacred Writings, and their effects 

 are forcibly illustrated in the following passages : " The ants are a people not strong, 

 yet they prepare their meat in the summer; " " The spider taketh hold with his hands, 

 and is in kings' palaces." 



I enclose you a dollar, which your mother insists must go this time. Our best re- 

 spects to Mr. and Mrs. Van Vleck. We all send you our best wishes and love, and 

 hope you'll write soon. Affectionately your father, 



Richard Penn Smith.
