nature ; but if you get a servant possessing all that I 

 have described as indispensable, and more which I have 

 named, and may recommend, as desirable qualifications, 

 you may consider him invaluable ; — that his interests are 



identified with your own : you will hold him entitled to 



your fullest confidence ; you will afford him every facility 

 of improving himself, and you will take care that he 

 has wherewithal to be happy and contented in your 

 service. His comforts, and those of his wife and family, 

 if he has either, or both, should not be overlooked ; 

 and he should have no reasonable grounds of complaint, 

 as to the horses which he is obliged to ride, the subordi- 

 nates for whose efficiencies he is answerable, or with 

 regard to any of the minor details, constituting the 

 material upon which he has to construct the edifice 

 which you desire to rear_and to uphold, as a pattern 

 of something " done well and as it should be done."
