assurances of my great esteem； of my sincere sympathies for the share
which you bear in the afflictions of your country； and the
deprivations to which a lawless will has subjected you。 In return；
you enjoy the dignified satisfaction of having met them； rather than
be yoked with the abject； to his car； and that； in withdrawing from
oppression； you have followed the virtuous example of a father； whose
name will ever be dear to your country and to mankind。 With my
prayers that you may be restored to it； that you may see it
re…established in that temperate portion of liberty which does not
infer either anarchy or licentiousness； in that high degree of
prosperity which would be the consequence of such a government； in
that； in short； which the constitution of 1789 would have insured it；
if wisdom could have stayed at that point the fervid but imprudent
zeal of men； who did not know the character of their own countrymen；
and that you may long live in health and happiness under it； and
leave to the world a well educated and virtuous representative and
descendant of your honored father； is the ardent prayer of the
sincere and respectful friend who writes this letter。
