Baillie, D.


To Lady Olivia Sparrow, March 18 1813

I know not what to say to D. Baillie for what I must call his elegant kindness. Do you think he would take it rightly [if] [tear] I sent him Christian Morals*? – has he [tear]ren? – they at least might read it – If you think it right, perhaps you would have the goodness to order to get /ready/ a copy of the 4th. Edition elegantly bound, but not to send it till I write to you again. Take care of your health my dearest Lady – Remember that the constant excitement of your sensibility, and the exertions of your mind, with people of the right /stamp/ , is more wearing than the uninteresting insipidity of the frivolous.
