Thomas Crowe begins his letter to his father by stating that is favorite spot on earth is by the hearth with his family at his parents' home. He reassures his father and his mother that he still thinks of them even though he is married and starting a life with his wife, Maria. After that, Thomas Crowe talks about how he and Maria are furnishing their house. Thomas Crowe discusses his belief that his sister Sarah be under the influence of his wife Maria, for he writes that college boys talk to girls too much to encourage modesty. Additionally, Thomas Crowe writes about being the minister of his church Logansport and the various day to day occurrences that have happened to the church. Apparently, John Finley had sent Thomas a petition for him and his congregants to sign to re-charter Hanover College, but Thomas did not send it back in time. Thomas states that he was too busy trying to get important people to sign the petition and that Hanover had already gotten re-chartered before he had the time to send it.
