To Henry Brooke WILLIAM STREET, DUBLIN, April 21, 1783. DEAR HARRY, Your letter gave me pleasure, and pain too. It gave me pleasure because it was written in a mild and loving spirit; and it gave me pain because I found it had pained you, whom I so' tenderly love and esteem. But I shall do it no more: I sincerely thank you for your kind reproof; it is a precious balm and will, I trust, in the hands of the Great Physician, be a means of healing my sickness. I am so sensible of your real friendship herein that I cannot write without tears. The words you mention were too strong; they will no more fall from my mouth. My dear Harry, cease not to pray for Your obliged and affectionate brother.
