If upon the nearer acquaintance you have had,
you find Sambouski to be what you know I
take him to be, I wish you would do what depends
upon you for disposing him to be intimate
with me. As far as I could judge from
what I saw or heard of him, in point of pubic
affections, which is the main point, he seemed
to be altogether one of us. You know I can not
afford time to be with him often, no more than
he to be with me: but if I am not mistaken
in him, when we are together I could wish
it might be upon as unguarded
a footing as
.
I would introduce him and Anderson to
one another: from Anderson he would get a great
deal of the sort of information that he wants. Anderson
seems to be a very character; but
he requires it to be explained
in the manner of it
apt not to like him at first sight. The first
time Is aw him I could hardly get him to
say a syllable: but now we are as great as
ankle-weavers.
I can't say but I feel a little bit of
curiosity to see this same extraordinary young
man, this new-made acquaintance, and yet
cordial and confidential friend of your's, who is
"every thing that you would wish to be". Poor Lohman!
I am afraid he will be out a
little by the brilliant and all accomplished
Pleschijeff. I trust however that you know
better than to forget him, or to omit any opportunity
of bearing testimony to his merits. I
can not help fearing for him, with the bad habit
of body he has got, encountering such a climate
as the W. Indies. if he should drop, it
well
