My dear friend
What sin have I committed towards you that you should have thus stripped me of the merit which I coveted?
See now the mischief you have done: I was rejoicing within myself that it was in my power to impart knowledge for the sake of the good it works, and not with the object of obtaining material recompense, when your elegant present stealthily intruded upon those pleasurable feelings.
Your marked progress was an ample requital for the slight exertion which your study requires of me, but you thought your==self under an obligation, and in your pride would discharge it.
But what! Ought I to reject a token which, at all events, bespeaks your appre==ciation of learning? No, I shall accept it thankfully, and by that it should preserve it last long, so I may for a certain period have as a memento of your esteem towards
yours truly
