Authorship Notes This text purports to be from a tutor or servant of an unspecified young gentlemen prevented from accompanying his charge abroad by their ill health. It seems likely - given the anonymity of the author and recipient of this letter - that this is a literary device. The letter itself takes the form of prescriptive advice of a conventional apodemic sort under the heads of Studies, Morals, and Religion.
