Scully, Thomas Jefferson, 1821
Above all things lose no occasion of exercising your
dispositions to be grateful to be generous, to be charitable, to be humane, to
be true, just, firm, orderly, courageous etc. consider every act of this kind
as an exercise which will strengthen your moral faculties, & increase your
worth. Be good, be learned, and be industrious, and you will not
want the aid of travelling to render you precious to your country, dear to your
friends, happy within yourself. I repeat my advice to take a great deal of
exercise, and on foot. Health is the first requisite after morality.
