LETTER LXXX.

My brave grandson, at this time there is a dearth of good men and women (i. e., are very rare).* Work must be done according to the dictates of the heart and not according to the sayings of bad people. More than this cannot be written; because it causes slander and sin. (Verse) “The wall has got ears; move your lips after thinking (i. e., think before you speak)”.
