Dear Sir, I am well aware that I am not the sort of Individual for whom a Publicaytion such as this is Intended, being not a Gentleman but a Saylor and having only Recently learned to Reede. However, I have during my most recent Shore Leave encountered a Charming young Gentleman, a Taylor, and by the Grace of God my Afections are Recyprocated. (1/2)
Tomorrow I leeve again for India, and I am afrayed he may Forget me in my Absence, or meet a Gentleman of more Rank and Breeding than I possess. How may I maintayne a Correspondance with him, and Safeguard our Affections from the Danger of Distance and Tyme?
You have Much to rejoice in your Life, Sir, for to have Love, Work, Health and the Printed World in your Grasp at Once is a Rare Occasion for Most. I cannot relay the Absolute Extent of the Envy I bear you, being Able, as you Presently are, to delve into the Corpus of Human Endeavour and Knowledge as it exists in the English Language; For a Novice your Hand is Quite Skilled and I imagine that within a Short Time of Dedicated Exercise, your Skill of Reading and Writing will be Handsomely developed. I touch Upon this Opportunity Before your Primary Anxiety, as I believe you have the Means, through your Newly Acquired Proficiency, to develop Both your Written Ability and the Bond you share with this Tailor.
India is Indeed a Distant Place, but as you yourself can attest it is Well-served by the Comings and Goings of Ships of All Description, Many of which travel Directly to England’s Shores and therefore carry Letters to its Inhabitants. I recommend that you begin a Regular Correspondence or Diary to send to your Beloved; You will in that Task be motivated to cultivate your Penmanship, Composition, &tc., and through those Improvements Further impress yourself Upon his Heart, thus serving Two Purposes in a Single Action. Your Profession compels you to be a Rover in Body, but it need not do So with your Heart. I wish you Both Great Happiness.
