The Infancy of the Rees Child A Soldier Letter
A historical lament mixes with a royal tone as a son writes to his father in sorrow over his education and future, declaring his intention to renounce worldly ambition. He thanks his father, seeks forgiveness for past faults, and hopes his brothers’ conduct will honor the family. The letter touches on divine providence, mortality, and spiritual restraint. It also includes news from Barbary about Mr Zollicoffre and freed Englishmen, plus a note on Barbary provisions.
