Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of Travel From Caspar Morris, M. D. 1871-1872, Vol. 2: To His Family
I enclose the sheets of my journalizing letter written day by day, hoping it might possibly repay my children for the labour of deciphering its shamefully illegible characters, and with the hope that you may extract from it some equivalent for the toil (made such an equivalent by your love) now while your mother and I are separated from you. I cannot think anyone, unless it may be myself, will ever take the necessary trouble, if I keep it till our return. I write under some difficulty, in my own room, which does not admit of a table, though amply large for comfort; often while still lying in bed, so soon as the light is strong enough to enable me to see the lines on the paper. Then both my pens have come to grief through my carelessly leaving them lying on the writing desk, which the servants close when I am out of the way.
Your note on Mrs. Cope's letter was most grateful. I am sorry you are so Oppressed with professional duty, but would only pray that you may have the strength given you to endure, and wisdom to acquire and apply properly the knowledge of disease and remedy, and thus serve God in your generation in the most godly of all callings, except that for which He only can qualify man - the ministry of the gospel of His son.
