To his Brother Charles Date: BRISTOL, March 5, 1788. DEAR BROTHER, I hope you keep to your rule, of going out every day, although it may sometimes be a cross. Keep to this but one month, and I am persuaded you will be as well as you was this time twelve-month. If I ventured to give you advice more, it would be this: 'Be master of your own house.' If you fly, they pursue. But stand firm, and you will carry your point. Evidently his musician sons needed to be kept to rule. See letters of March 2 and 7. Adieu !
