ABSTRACT

I am infinitely obliged to you, my dear friend, for the entertaining letter inclosed in Zilia’s: it gave me as much pleasure, as a mind so dead to enjoyment as mine, is capable of receiving. However, there is a joy which the benevolent, though unhappy breast, will find some share in, that of communicating pleasure to others: it affords me a transient comfort, to be the channel of conveying pleasure to you.
