The survivors, in their old age, recalled the impression he made upon them, and especially remembered the solemn tones of his voice at morning and evening prayer, extemporaneous exercises which he scrupulously maintained.

His letters at this time are like those of his college days, full of fun and good humor and kind feeling.

He had his early love affairs, but was saved from matrimony by the liberality of his affections, which were not confined to a single object.

He laughs pleasantly and good-naturedly over his fortunes with the fair sex, and talks a good deal about them, but his first loves do not seem to have been very deep or lasting.

Wherever he went, he produced an impression on all who saw him.
