"I am removed from your splendid virtues. I stand looking towards you with anxious expectation. There is nothing for me but toiling along a dusty road.

To receive your advice, as well as pay my respects, are both out of my power. In sleep my spirit dreams of you; it induces a kind of intoxication.

A consider my virtuous brother, a happy man, eminent and adorned with all rectitude. You are determined in your good purposes, and rejoice in the path of reason. You are always and increasingly happy. On this account I am rejoiced and consoled more than can be expressed."
