Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription you. I understand the state of your feelings, I believe, very well, and I do not mean harshly to condemn them. What I desire is that you should be persuaded to choose your course of life with as little reference as possible to any longing or desire you may have to make a figure in the world. If you propose this as your chief object and make it your principle aim, the chances are a hundred to one you will fail, and, if you succeed, the chances are a hundred to one you will be miserable in the midst of your success--I am your sincere well-wisher[P.P.?] Barnard
