Présentation de l'éditeur

Garthwaite being already under way, when I met him with it in my hand. So I daresay you will open this sheet with an additional portion of eagerness. It struck me also that the Doctor might be a convenient means of enabling me to execute a small project which I have meditated for a while, the project of sending my mother and you each a pair of spectacles. You will find them wrapt up in the accompanying parcel. Yours I need not say are the silver ones. .. .T his is the first thing, I believe, you ever got from me ;and though a trifle, I know it will be acceptable as coming from such a quarter. It affords a true delight to me to think, that, perhaps I may thus add a little to Through life I had given him my Father very little, having little to give :he needed little, and from me expected nothing. Thou who wouldst give, give quickly :in the grave thy loved one can receive no kindness. I once bought him a pair of silver spectacles ;at receipt of which and the letter that accompanied them (J ohn told me) he was very glad, and nigh weeping. What I gave I have. He read with these spectacles till his last days, and no doubt sometimes thought of me in using them. Roniiiiscetii-cs, i, 63.
