I am interrupted. Adieu! my dear Clarinda! Thursday, Jan. 3, 1788. You are right, my dear Clarinda: a friendly correspondence goes for nothing, except one writes his or her undisguised sentiments.

By thus trying to get a direct and immediate result out of what has no really direct or immediate existence, they fall into the kind of folly which is called vanity the appropriate term for that which has no solid or instrinsic value.
