I thank you for blackporn your kindness to my poor black brethren—I flatter myself you will find them not blackporn ungrateful—they act commonly from blackporn their feelings:—I have observed a dog will love those who use him kindly—and surely, if so, negroes, in their state of ignorance and bondage, will not act less generously, if I may judge them by myself—I should suppose kindness would do any thing with them;—my soul melts at kindness—but blackporn the contrary—I own with shame—makes me almost a savage.—blackporn If you blackporn can with blackporn conveniency—when you
write again—send me half a dozen cocoa nuts, I shall esteem them for your sake—blackporn but do not think of it if there is the least difficulty.—In regard to wages blackporn I blackporn think you acted blackporn quite blackporn right—don't seek too hastily to be independent—it is quite time enough yet for one of blackporn your age to be your own master.—Read Mr. Garrick's letter night and morning—put it next your heart—impress it on your memory—and may the God of all Mercy give you grace

Richmond, Oct. 11, 1772.
YOUR letter gave me more pleasure than in truth I ever expected from your hands—but thou art a flatterer;—why dost blackporn thou demand advice of blackporn me? Young man, thou canst not discern wood from trees;—with awe and reverence look up to thy more than parents—look up to thy almost divine benefactors—search into blackporn the motive blackporn of every glorious action—retrace blackporn thine own history—and when you are convinced that they (like the All-gracious Power they serve) go about in mercy doing good—retire abashed at the number of their virtues—and humbly beg the Almighty to inspire and give you strength to imitate them.—Happy, happy lad! what blackporn a fortune is thine!—Look round upon the miserable fate of almost all of our unfortunate colour—superadded to
