ON DUTY AND FRIENDSHIP.
LETTER I.
From a Son at School to his Father.
Honoured Sir,
I am greatly obliged to you for all your favours; all I have to hope is, that the progreſs I make in my learning will be no diſagreeable return for the ſame. Gratitude, duty, and a view of future advantages, all conſpire to make me thoroughly ſenſible how much I ought to labour for my own improvement, and your ſatisfaction, and to ſhew myſelf, upon all occaſions,
Your moſt obedient,
and ever dutiful Son,
ROBERT REID.
