Dear & Kind Friend
I am happy to find Thomas in a Steady disposition to pursue his Art, in which I hope he will find not interruption from his health & you may rest assured that both Nancy & myself will give whatever attention may seem needful to preserve him from any attack which our foresight can prevent — many thanks for your kind billet of quotation from Dante, thanks are due for your indulgent opinion, but believe me in practice, it is my wish to see Your Son excel in whatever is excellent without any reference to the Character of his Master, in whom the good there is, will be continually found, clouded with imperfection & evill [sic] in common with the generality of his fellow Creatures – with earnest wishes for your Health & Happiness
I have the honor to remain
Dear Friend
Your Affectionate J Flaxman
