Summary
Autograph Letter signed version of document 8412. The delicacy, candour, and temper diffused through your letters form a strongcontrast to the evasions and design observable in some others. Gratitude oughtto have attached a certain gentleman to the friend who raised him; a spuriousambition, however, has, it seems, made him your enemy. Further thoughts along this line.
