I am convinced that he has far bigger things in him than we have seen yet.

But he is extraordinarily sensitive and extraordinarily vain.

The danger is that he may be frightened and blighted by the harshness and hatred of the world.

He may shrink into himself and do nothing if the wind be not tempered a little for him.

A hint of encouragement now, the feeling that men like yourself think him worthful and deserving of special kindly treatment, and I feel certain he will do great things.
