_Harrington_ to _Worthy_.
_Boston._
I HAVE had a conversation with my father on the subject of
early marriages, but to no purpose—I will not be certain whether he
understood my drift, but all his arguments are applicable to my
situation. One must be an adept to argue with him; and interested as he
thinks himself in the result of the debate, he can not be prevailed upon
to relinquish his settled opinion. I am too much chagrined to write to
you even the heads of our conversation. I now stand upon my old ground.
Adieu!
