In Mr. Richards, my expectations have been more than realised; and I
cannot sufficiently express my thanks to the Committee for selecting such
a person to be my tutor. His kind solicitude for my domestic comforts,
is as unremitting as his attention to my advancement in literary
pursuits. His religion is so far removed from wild enthusiasm as it is
from cold and affected formality. The chaste and pious manner in which
he offers up the family devotions, with his Christian precepts and
example, have made so deep an impression upon my mind, as will prove, I
trust, to my spiritual advantage.
