Pàgina 96 - Yoc say truly, that death is only terrible to us as it separates us from those we love, but I really think those have the worst of it who are left by us, if we are true friends. I have felt more (I fancy) in the loss of Mr Gay, than I...
Pàgina 174 - Adieu, dear Sir, may health attend your years, and then may many years be added to you. PS I am...
