Arvine Wales letter to Arvine C. Wales, February 28, 1845

Arvine Wales approves of his son's decision to study law. He discusses fever in Massillon and attempts by doctors to treat a child with fever who despite agressive treatment died of the croup. He enclosed $20 "being very hard to obtain at this time"and gives his son fatherly advice, "stick to your studies, shun every appearance of vice, be slow to make friends and take time to know who to trust." 7.85" x 9.85" (20 by 25 cm
