BATH,March 9,O.S.1748.
DEAR BOY:I must from time to time,remind you of what I have often recommended to you,and of what you cannot attend to too much;SACRIFICETO THE GRACES.The different effects of the same things,said or done,when accompanied or abandoned by them,is almost inconceivable.They prepare the way to the heart;and the heart has such an influence over the understanding,that it is worth while to engage it in our interest.
