LETTER LXXV.

Brave grandson, the sagacious sons should not write (to me) asking for additional titles to reporters. Why do you make me this unreasonable request? But if you think it proper, the service of reportership will be given to another, because the present reporter does not perform his duty well (he is not a true reporter). (Couplet) “When selfish­ness came, merit was concealed; a hundred curtains of hearts (i. e., men) fell on eyes (i. e., merit is not appreciated and rewarded by selfish people; they are blind to merit).”
