I understand what you mean by Connected But I say we are connected. O how nobly! have we not the Son of God himself for our Friend had we not better be satisfied with that and Labor manfully as he directs. Will not the wages be sufficient for us think ye

 I do not wonder that you are doubtful and disponding Sometimes it is so often the lot us frail erring Sinning mortal - by the way I think you are in the main highly favor'd in having a happy disposition or praiseworthy for governing it as it seems to be you do seldom give way to despondency - your present situation as to society must be I think rather unfavorable to the enjoyment of that Peace which is as a River. The wretched unitarianism about there tho' I see clearly now that is is all error did disturb my mind somewhat.
   Look not my Dear Son for worldly emolument or honour or for self for self's sake as much as we need of these things will be added. But I would have you try try to get above the fear of man You have in your nature a very great share of timidity or delicacy of feeling a Gem which does not pass well with common minds - they dont know its value indeed you'll find very few that will appreciate it they will call it something else and treat it accordingly. I can sympathize with you exactly in regard to the art of speech. We are not connected you say alluded? but what would be the benefit if we were we are all too proud to make any advantage of it if we were - your position is such that you perhaps might easily ingratiate yourself into old Mr. Everetts favor so that he would interest himself in your behalf, but you are to proud to do it you cant stoop, nor any of the rest of us - especially Charles he has bad trouble and cost in consequence! with Rolling Everett etc. Tho' there are many things may be Done without stooping - Charles by "Drawing in his horns,, keeping out of sight the sharp corners using a little "soft soap,, etc.etc.
