Let your Discourse with Men of Business be Short and Comprehensive.I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery.The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.Few men have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder.Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
