For I warrant you we shall find a bond of fellowship on
some part or other of the field of thought and action at a
soceable hour at the place from which I date; but if there
must needs be gravity It must be all of it on your side for
though to judge of your age by your degree there may be
perhaps about thrice as much of mine as there is of yours
gravity is rather a scare commodity in this place.
In your Letter you speak of possible misapprehensions
and eventual explanation: as for looking out for any such
things I must beg your excuse: if what I shall see is of a
piece with what I have seen I shall be too well satisfied
with both to wish any of them to be changed. If I do not
misrecollect you express in one place or another a little
anxiety under the apprehension lest some of the terms or
phrases should be found too strong. So far as concerns myself
I will do as to this matter all it is possible towards
setting you at your ease and accordingly you have already
a full license for the employing on every such occasion
all such words and phrases as to you may appear most
