  Letter From Henry Platt to Parents 16-Dec-1806
Dobcross Dec 16th 1806
Dear Parents,
The approaching termination of the present
year gives me a pleasing opportunity of making my grateful
acknowledgements for your affectionate love and concern in promoting
my welfare. While you have been kindly encouraging me to apply
my time in the acquirement of various and useful
learning, I trust I have not been negligent in using the
days which your goodness has assured and
indeed owe the paths that lead to knowledge and understanding, and by
my improvement in such valuable qualifications, I hope to
be a comfort to you, happy within myself, and well received by society.
I am, with the greatest respect,
Dear Parents,
Your dutiful son,
Henry Platt

Dear Children,
It is with great pleasure
to inform you that we are all very
well. The weather has been very fine.
I think I shall find a benefit reading.
I feel rather uneasy finding from
your letter that you had been eagerly
about more land but I hope that you
will never think at it may make
for it would only bring more traceable,
let us have all the news you have
respecting how you are faring and
I infer you will have yourself accept
this and have not had a letter for him yet
from him must take time of the _
your affectionate
father & mother
Henry Platt
