21. KENT: AN AMERICAN LAW STUDENT 847
choose to live more at my ease, & to be prepared for the ap-proaching infirmities of age. — On reviewing what I have written, I had thoughts of burning it, I speak of myself too entirely, & it is entirely against my habit or taste, but I see no other way fairly to meet your desires.
I am with great respect and good wishes,
James Kent.
Thomas Washington, Esq.
