The following letter from Henry Man to his daughter Emma is included among HM's posthumously published 'Miscellaneous Works'

TO MISS EMMA MAN.

PAPA is not unmindful of his dear Emma's pretty French letter; she shall certainly see a play of her own chusing before she is a fortnight older.

My Hudson's-Bay friend promised me an Indian shot-bag—here it is, a present from Papa to Emma, who is requested to examine it attentively, as the work of a little savage not more than twelve years old. The colours are dyed by the Indians, and the nicer work performed with a porcupine's quill.  I think you will admire it, and say, Well! after this, 1 never will be vain of any thing; see how regular the work is, with nobody to teach regularity!  If my eye guides me right, there is not a stitch amiss. I shall hear your opinion, and I shall hear you say, I will never undervalue any body; for, if a poor ignorant savage can do this, I will never be proud of any thing.  I am to have some other presents, and I shall judge, by the value you set on this, how to bestow them.  Kiss Nancy for me; and remember, as long as you are a good girl, I am an indulgent papa.— So, Miss, your Servant,

Your very humble Servant,

H. M.
