This is a brief letter written to Achsa Johnson of Worthington, Ohio from her son, William M. Johnson, who was attending school in Milan, Ohio. He tells his mother that his health has significantly improved; he has a headache, but thinks it will go away in a day or two. He then tells his mother that he is running low on collars and drawers and requests some, if his mother had the time. He also enclosed the Philadelphia paper, at Mary’s request. He ends the letter by asking when his father will be at Lyme or Sandusky, so that he can visit.
