12 January, 1780.
MY DEAR SON,
I hope you have had no occasion, either from
enemies or the dangers of the sea, to repent your
second voyage to France. If I had thought your
reluctance arose from proper deliberation, or that you
5 were capable of judging what was most for your own
Line
benefit, I should not have urged you to accompany
your father and brother when you appeared so averse
to the voyage.
You, however, readily submitted to my advice,
10 and, I hope, will never have occasion yourself, nor
give me reason, to lament it. Your knowledge of the
language must give you greater advantages now than
you could possibly have reaped whilst ignorant of it;
and as you increase in years, you will find your
15 understanding opening and daily improving.
Some author, that I have met with, compares a
judicious traveller to a river, that increases its stream
the further it flows from its source; or to certain
springs, which, running through rich veins of
20 minerals, improve their qualities as they pass along.
It will be expected of you, my son, that, as you are
favored with superior advantages under the instructive
eye of a tender parent, your improvement should bear
some proportion to your advantages. Nothing is
25 wanting with you but attention, diligence, and steady
application. Nature has not been deficient.
These are times in which a genius would wish to
live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose
of a pacific station, that great characters are formed.
30 Would Cicero have shone so distinguished an orator if
he had not been roused, kindled, and inflamed by the
tyranny of Catiline, Verres, and Mark Anthony? The
habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending
with difficulties. All history will convince you of this,
35 and that wisdom and penetration are the fruit of
experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure.
Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind
is raised and animated by scenes that engage the
heart, then those qualities, which would otherwise lie
40 dormant, wake into life and form the character of the
hero and the statesman. War, tyranny, and desolation
are the scourges of the Almighty, and ought no doubt
to be deprecated. Yet it is your lot, my son, to be an
eyewitness of these calamities in your own native
45 land, and, at the same time, to owe your existence
among a people who have made a glorious defence of
their invaded liberties, and who, aided by a generous
and powerful ally, with the blessing of Heaven, will
transmit this inheritance to ages yet unborn.
50 Nor ought it to be one of the least of your
incitements towards exerting every power and faculty
of your mind, that you have a parent who has taken so
large and active a share in this contest, and discharged
the trust reposed in him with so much satisfaction as
55 to be honored with the important embassy which at
present calls him abroad.
The strict and inviolable regard you have ever paid
to truth, gives me pleasing hopes that you will not
swerve from her dictates, but add justice, fortitude,
60 and every manly virtue which can adorn a good
citizen, do honor to your country, and render your
parents supremely happy, particularly your ever
affectionate mother
