Although it requires courage to treat of those matters of which others have made a profession, none the less, I do not believe that it is a mistake to occupy a position with words, which may, with greater presumption, have been occupied with deeds; for the errors which I should make in writing can be corrected without injury to anyone, but those which are made with deeds cannot be found out except by the ruin of the commanders.

Yes, I'm enjoying it very much!
I like the descriptive language; I find my imagination responds naturally to it.
Thank you for your reply.
