I shall readily admit the excuse for not being frequent or punctual in your Correspondence. In your present Situation you have doubtless but little liesure to look so far as this from your immediate ingagements. Had I recollected that there was a key in my possession, capable of unlocking the desk I might have saved Isaac Miclle the trouble of paying you a visit to I found the papers of which he was in search immedi= -ately on looking for them. Elihu Smith was to have been here last Evening. The badness of the roads, or some accident has prevented his arrival yet. I knew not that he intended to go to you at Wilmington If it be, I shall encourage him in it, but doubt whether I shall be able to bear him company. I shall, however, at least, send with him my love to you and my warmest respects to... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-062.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-063.xml Four months afterward, he again wrote to his friend Dunlap; "After wandering through fifty pages, the experiment was sufficiently made, and the thorough consciousness that I was unfitted for the instructer’s chair, that my style was feeble and diffuse, my method prolix and inaccurate, my reasoning crude and superficial, and my knowledge narrow and undigested, suddenly benumbed my fingers: I dropped the pen, and I sunk into silent and solitary meditation on the means of remedying these defects." http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-063.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-064.xml Saturday, 23rd http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-064.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-065.xml Recd. a long letter from C.B.

I will pardon the, however, and prove the sincerity of my forgiveness, by transmitting thus speedily to thy retreat, this friendly greeting. Whether it may find thee disenga =ged, and at liesure to listen to its still, small voice, I cannot predict. Not that I imagine thee absorbed in occupations, whose purpose is gain, for it is thy fortune to be ingaged most intencely, when most disengaged from pursuits merely lucrative, to find thy social & studious hours far the busiest, and, in the precious intercourse of souls a centre more irresistably attractive of thy thoughts, than the importu= ties of necessity, or the allurements of Avarice~ http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-066.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-066A.xml 5.

Thou promisedst to send me Condorcets Work of which thou and thy friends have doubtless long since finished the perusal: but I have seen neither that or any thing else from thee, this Monstrous long while: Not that I am at any loss to find for thee, in thy present situation, employments far more profitable and delightful than that of endighting letters to the absent: Thou art, perhap busy to a lucrative purpose; thou art not remarkable for neglecting the chief concern of human life: that of acquiring the means of subsistence. If thou art employed to that end, it will give me pleasure to be told of it. Thou wilt readily imagine that information of thy health and welfare will not be the less acceptable if given under thy own hand.~ http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-069.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-070.xml How sha How shall I account for the agreable Sensations which thy Yesterdays letter produced? Perhaps the concern which thou expressest for my welfare is the cause of it: Never did the reason which thou givest for thy long silence, appear of less weight. Assure thyself, my good Josepho that with all my errors, and in spite of them, I love thee much nor will the existance of those differences of Sentiment to which thou alludest ever render, if I may judge from my present Emotions thy letters otherwise than very acceptable.— xxx http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-070.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-071.xml Thursday, 21st http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-071.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-072.xml Monday, 1st http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-072.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-073.xml pectations of the beginning of last week I did not come ill Tuesday Evening. One Accident or another prevented our coming sooner. Immediately on my arrival I recieved your letter. I thank you for it. It is worthy of you http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-073.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-074.xml I came hither yesterday. I had such slight hopes that thou wast in the City, that I felt their disappointment by thy absence the less forcibly; and now I I hardly know why I take up the pen to write to thee. Thou hast lately totally abandoned me, and hast furnished me with nothing on which to comment. Thou deemest me unworthy of being informed with respect to the present Situation of thy affairs, thy health or those of thy Laura. Thou art doubtless influenced by thy old opinion, that the difference between our principles justifies or requires the ceasing of all intercourse between us.~ http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-074.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-075.xml I have been busy for this good many days past, and have allowed the weariness of some hours dayly occupation to my pen, to unfit me for this employment. I received your last letter in good time, and thank you for your punctuality: a virtue in which it seems my destiny to fall short of most other people. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-L-075.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-MM007.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-MM007.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-MM008.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1796-MM008.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
