<p>I cannot enough admire the humane delicacy of your ingenious friend: and as he<lb/> | |||
appears to be one of that small and valuable number of men in a community who<lb/> | |||
are governed in the first place by conscientious motives, and capable upon occasion<lb/> | |||
of postponing a benefit of their own to a greater benefit of their neighbour, I shall<lb/> | |||
venture to treat the question you proposed to me as a case of conscience, without<lb/> | |||
fear of being laughed at for my pains by him I am writing <hi rend="underline">of</hi>, should he happen<lb/> | |||
to come to the knowledge of what I say, any more than I am sure I shall<lb/> | |||
be by him I am writing <hi rend="underline">to</hi>.</p> | |||
