Excerpt from A Lady and Her Letters
SO much of character and breeding is inevitably revealed in letters, that too great pains cannot be taken that the revelation be not discreditable and damaging.
Most of the counsels that apply to the spoken word of virtuous and well-bred people, apply with even greater force to the written word. For the spoken word may be half-heard, or forgotten but the written word remains; and may come back in the most unexpected time and manner, either to the praise or the confusion Of the writer.
