William Newsum Jr., at Norfolk, to Miss Sally Cary, at Williamsburg, 10 December 1805
Scope and Contents
Discusses exercise, literature and reading, and forgiveness and friendship.
"I am not partial when I say that you are blameless But remember my dear friend, that forgiveness is a most amiable virtue and that if it can not conciliate those who are displeased with us – it can at least make us pleased with ourselves – Be still the same Sally Cary."
William seems to be offering Sally advice about a disagreement with one of her friends.
