Forbes's Collection I had intended to have written a long letter on the occasion of my reading "Clarissa;" and I actually had begun one in a very methodical manner; but happening to read the postscript afterwards, I was surprised to find the very subject touched upon there, which I had proposed to treat of in my intended letter. I, therefore, changed my first resolution, judging it unnecessary to trouble you with reading in my words what you find much better expressed in that postscript.
