narch in his purple, and the Beggar in 

 his rags, are expofed to their refpedtive 

 cares and afflkjions. Agreeable objects, 

 by poffeffion and familiarity, lofe their 

 aptitude and capacity for pleafing ; and 

 in every flate of life, hope ends in dis- 

 appointment, and enjoyment in fatiety. 

 From this conclufion juftice, however, 

 obliges me to except the happinefs I 

 once derived from your endearing So- 

 ciety and cdnverfation, unallayed by 

 enjoyment ; and I can with truth affure 

 you, that neither abfence, nor diftance 

 of fituation, will ever impair the efteeni 

 and devotion with which I moft affec- 

 tionately am, 



Dear Brother, 



Your, &c.
