To [Milcah M. H. Moore] (unpublished)
[1787]

I have read, with much pleasure, the manuscript specimen communicated to me of the Miscellanies in Prose and Verse. I am glad to hear they are now ordered for the press.

A book, containing so many well chosen sentiments, and excellent instructions, put into the hands of our children, cannot but be highly useful to the rising generation.
