Oral discourse
If you imagine you have cause for complaint against any man on the
ground of his misconduct towards you—& if it appears to you of use that he should
be informed of this,—take care that the communication be made so as to give him
the least possible annoyance; do not convey your comprehension in a way to
make him suppose you think ill of him;—so speak that he may regard you
as attributing his conduct to a cause in which he is little, or not at all
blameworthy. You have asked him, for example, to visit you—he has
neither sent this, nor sent an answer—he ought to have come—or at least
to have given a reason why he did not or could not come. Inspect his
to the possible miscarriage of your letter—as if the message was a verbal
one to probable misconception on the part of the hearer,—to the misconception
or misexpression,—or forgetfulness;—for as the issuing might have but produced
by any of these causes there is no insincerity in a man's supposing as much
