[In another personal attack:] Of your best instructions I
am well assured. Your military prowess, I know, cannot be
depended on; nor, without a burlesque condescension of
charity, be even mentioned. Neither am I so sanguine as to
promise myself any assistance from you as a writer. In this
character you lately attempted to figure and caper; but your
situation was piteous; and I do not blush to make the
acknowledgement. None of your friends, I believe, ever
carried their partiality so far as to contend for your being
an universal genius. . .
