Thomas Jefferson 10 His
Daughter.

am glad to learn, my dear
Patsy, that you are employed in
things new and good. OF all the
cankers of human happiness none
corrodes with so silent yet with SO
baleful an influence as Incidence.
Exercise and application produce
order in our affairs, health of body
and cheerfulness of mind. If at
any moment, my dear, you catch
yourself in idleness, start from it
as you would from the precipice OF
a gulf. l do not like your saying
that you are unable to read Livy
but with the aid of a master. 1t
is part of the American character
to surmount every difficulty by
resolution.
Ny expectations from you are
high, but not higher than you may
attain. Nobody in this world can
make me so happy or so miserable
as you. Think nothing is unsur-
mountable and you will be all that
/ wish you to be.
Affectionately, II. j.
