As to the imputation of want of temper (and
dispositions in that respect I presume) how well
soever merited by the author I hope it will not
be the means of the plan's being deprived of the
benefit of your patronage. It is for the place of
Jailor for he that I am a candidate, and not
the place of a professor of urbanity or even of
good manners. Good Temper is most certainly an essential
quality of a jailor - but towards whom?
Towards those that are under him not towards those
that are above him. Was I ever deficient in this
respect towards persons of that description bearing
any such a relation to me? - that will submission
would be the proper is the object for your inquiry - No
servant no dependent of any kind ever heard a harsh
word from me. Do not You will do me an injustice
if you believe that I would ever make so free
