I must remind you that you should extend your
application beyond the mere mechanical part of your
business. You will have to compose as well as to

accounts, and the method of keeping them, is not to
be neglected. It is important to all men, and particularly to those who cannot afford to be careless. If

be increased by your endeavours to help yourself.
