Of the second class of friends who are
rather acquaintance I have not time to say anything.
You will perceive that I am well off with respect to friendship
This and the distinguished Character I have acquired here
must be pleasing but I am by no means contented with
it. No friendship will make up for my separation from

personal merit had the smallest share possible.

Here is no opportunity to shew that public spirit and Zeal
for Utility which may be found in England. Noone

bid adieu to all here: and this if you come to see me
