Página 124 - ... you have made my system as clear as I ought to have done and could not. It is indeed the same system as mine but illustrated with a ray of your own, as they say our natural body is the same still when it is glorified. I am sure I like it better than I did before, and so will every man else. I know I meant just what you explain, but I did not explain my own meaning so well as you. You understand me as well as I do myself, but you express me better than I could express myself.
Página 281 - I could wish you tried something in the descriptive way on any subject you please, mixed with vision and moral; like pieces of the old provenjal poets, which abound with fancy, and are the most amusing scenes in nature.

Página 52 - I will not render them less important, or less interesting, by sparing vice and folly, or by betraying the cause of truth and virtue. I will take care they shall be such, as no man can be angry at but the persons I would have angry.
Página 48 - I think of more than mortality, and what you mention of collecting the best monuments we can of our friends, their own images in their writings : (for those are the best, when their minds are such as Mr. Gay's was, and as yours is.)
