'SIR,
'If in these papers[1140] there is little alteration attempted, do not
suppose me negligent. I have read them perhaps more closely than the
rest; but I find nothing worthy of an objection.
'Write to me soon, and write often, and tell me all your honest heart.
'I am Sir,
'Yours affectionately,
'SAM. JOHNSON.'
'Aug. 30, 1775.'
