Very fine letter: the greatest attachment I have to life is the affection I feel for a few particular friends; but it is out of my power to do them any good. I do not feel as if my death would be a real loss to any one person. However I earnestly wish to be able to say,

Determin'd am I while I breathe
To praise and to rejoice."
