Transcription	Providence Mch 11th 1872 My Dear Son, feeling this morning that you must need a little money to pay for your board I will herein enclose thirty five dolls in currency. You say to your Ma in your last that you have some Books to get the amt sent will pay your board & leave you the amt you say the books will cost& pay your wash bill. We are all pretty well only have bad colds. Your Ma has had a bad time of it for the greater part of two months past. A very bad cold which has caused much pain but she is much better now. still has pain her side tho she goes about the house There has been a good deal of Pneumonia about here. Willie Blackman died on last Friday night of it his family in great distress. Capt Pilcher took his remains to New Orleans- George Smith is still very low. Col [Young] nephew died to last week & niece very sick. We are all about her progressing about as usual in the spring with our work for a new crop. Many people however are backward. We are quite well advanced are ready to plant our corn but fear it is too soon. The River is still low & lower than any person recollects- navigation is now open to all ports above & you mail send your letters by mail- We were very much pleased on receipt of your last letter, to read the encouraged spirit your manifested therein, persevere that is the spring which will bring any [illegible word] mind into a [illegible word] existence. I have only intended to send you the money this morning and not to write long as I only stop to do this on my way to the mail therefore you will not look for any big things. I know your ma keeps you well posted as to the occurrences of neighborhood & it would be folly for me to restate them- Your Ma now comes up and says give [illegible word] a world full of her love and so with hers you may have a big pile of your Pas, Affectionately your Father S.P. Bernard
