for the purchase of some tobacco or anything else that you need; but, for the love of heaven, do not spend the money foolishly. Come you and see me soon; come without fail. Perhaps you may be ashamed to meet me, as you were before, but you need not feel like that—such shame would be misplaced. Only do bring with you sincere repentance and trust in God, who orders all things for the best.
