Thanks Ogden for her care of his brother, Orice. Requests that Orice's belongings be sent home "by express." In an attempt to fulfill his mother's wishes, Fogg requests that his brother's remains be sent home as well. Yet he writes, "on a more calm consideration we don't know as it would be best … I think it would be best to let the body remain for the present." Says his only desire is that the grave be properly marked so that friends and relatives can find it. In a postscript, says that his sister wants to know whether Orice was confined to his cot or able to walk about, whether his arm was very painful, whether he took "cold in it [his arm]," and whether he suffered.
