establishment: in regard to your literary
reputation, it is already established on
permanent basis; So that your amour propre
if it is not an unqualifi'd one, can be securely
at ease and enjoy Satisfaction, which
few people are doom'd to taste. As for
our Sam's position, it must be view'd in
a different manner, he is a cadet,
whose
fortune and reputation are grounded
on labour and perseverance, he must
long fight the battle 'ere it brings him
the comforts, he aims at. and for that
reason I love to encourage his fondness
for scheeming and projecting.
You wish to see my book translated
into german, I do not know if anybody
has undertaken that task, but dela Coliniere
the French minister's counselor of legation
has put it into French, which I intend
to publish next winter when we come
to town for good and all. I should be glad
to see my book in English and incorporated
with that of Mr Beaty's, whose association
