Margaret Fuller, Letter

       He is three and twenty, has been through college and kept a school, is very fond of the classics and an earnest thinker, yet intends being a farmer. He has a great deal of practical sense, and as he has bodily sense to boot, he may look to be a successful and happy man. He has a boat which he made himself, and rows me out on the pond.
