I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My
temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding—
certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget
the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses
against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to
move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion
once lost, is lost forever.
