Summary
Profuse thanks for Livingston's actions. "I think myself extremely happy in an assurance from you (whom I can't suspect of dissimulation) that no other material deficiency marks my character than the one you mention: and I thankfully acknowledge endeavours to remove that. Agreeable to your advice I shall keep a watchful eye over my conduct; and hope with your assistance to preserve it fair and unspotted."
