If parents attended to their children, I would not have written the ſtories; for, what are books—compared to converſations which affection inforces!—
LETTER V
My dear ſir,
Remember you are to ſettle my account, as I want to know how much I am in your debt—but do not ſuppoſe that I feel any uneaſineſs on that ſcore. The generality of people in trade would not be much obliged to me for a like civility, but you were a man before you were a bookſeller—ſo I am your ſincere friend,
mary.
