It's shortly after his wedding that he recives the letter and as much as it pains him that the other wasn't there, he can understand the needs and the fact that he's already providing a better life for David then he could have had here.
It's a week or more before he finds the time to reply again, wanting to find the proper words as well as spending time with his wife.
Henry, The wedding went off beautifully. I wish you would have been here to share it with me. Mary is a fine wife and as devoted as one could ever ask. I wish you two could have met, though some day perhaps you can.
I send with this letter a book for David. A study on woodland creatures. I thought it might interest him, what with the pictures of the creatures as well as the facts and tales. I am glad to hear you have found a school for him. He will do much better then I with a real education.
Give my best to him as well as yourself.
Always, A.
David would love the book, though he would remember it more as something Henry gave him and not something delivered from Abraham. Though at the time he would attempt to draw a chip monk from the book on a parchment paper and ask Henry to send it with the next letter.
