The Answer.
SIR,
If Modesty be the greatest Glory of our Sex, surely it cannot be blameworthy in yours. For my own part, I must think it the most amiable Quality either Man or Woman can possess. Nor can there be, in my Opinion, a true Respect, where there is not a Diffidence of one's own Merit, and an high Opinion of the Person's we esteem.
To say more, on this Occasion, would little become me. To say less, would look as if I knew not how to pay that Regard to modest Merit, which modest Merit only deserves.
You, Sir, best know your own Heart; and if you are sincere and generous, will receive as you ought, this Frankness from
Your humble Servant.
