To Mr de Beaugoust.

BOth your Friend and your Letter were heartily welcome to me. I find him to be (that is as far as I can judge) what you say of him, a Learned person. But let me tell you, as there is no man in the world more admires Learning than myself, so there is none in the world less admires a Learned man. Take not this as a Reflection upon your Friend. I can as yet have but little knowledge of him. But I believe he is a man of Sense: for he shews not too much of himself at first, and seems to be one of those Men that one shall like better at the Year's end than at the Week's.
