Maitland's mother writes to her son. Expresses hope he will be home in the spring. Reports she attended a funeral for an eighty-year-old neighbor. Comments there has been a revival of religion in the county. Includes a detailed accounting of their financial situation. Mentions his brother Grier bought a coat for twenty dollars: "...I have to let him get some things for himself or he gets out of heart and thinks he has to work and gets nothing..." Worries about the amount of work that needs to be done on the farm during the summer and the scarcity of help.
