J.B. for Henderson to Gullet
and commissions to which they gave occasion, coming
successively upon the carpet one after another and
at scattered times, did not make in your mind
that simultaneousforcible impression impression, which having them
lay in presenting themselves to my view at once
they do upon mine. At the time when you
gave him the trouble, you intended perhaps to
make it up to him: when the time came, the
intention had died away, or ano been driven out
of mind by other objects. Possibly a little parsimory
may have mixt itself unperceived with
the inadventence. We are all of us unequal inconsistent
creatures: we have our fits of parsimony and our
fits of generosity and exhibit quite different
character in the one from what we do in the
other. I know I it Upon recollectionreflection I
have often convicted myself of this of this inconsistence.
and I believe there are very few people, who,
were they tothey would take the trouble might not do the same.
