Keep this letter, read it again fifteen or twenty years hence, perhaps twenty five, and if at that time the prediction which I am about to make has not been fulfilled, burn it as a piece of folly out of charity and respect for my memory. KEEP THIS LETTER READ IT AGAIN FIFTEEN OR TWENTY YEARS HENCE PERHAPS TWENTY FIVE AND IF AT THAT TIME THE PREDICTION WHICH I AM ABOUT TO MAKE HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED BURN IT AS A PIECE OF FOLLY OUT OF CHARITY IN RESPECT FOR MY MEMORY
t made for you, it is beneath you; you ought, by all means, to leave it, before its injurious influence begins to affect your faculties, and before you become settled, as they say, in the ways of your profession, were it possible that such a thing could ever happen, which I flatly deny. You are unhappy; you have not yet entered upon the path which Nature has marked out for you. But, faint-hearted soul, is that a cause for despondency? Ought you to feel discouraged? Struggle, morbleu, struggle persistently, and you will triumph. J. J. Rousseau groped about for forty years before his genius was revealed to him. You are not J. J Rousseau; but listen: I know not whether I should have divined the author of "Emile" when he was twenty years of age, supposing that I had been his contemporary, and had enjoyed the honor of his acquaintance. But I have known you, I have loved you, I have divined your future, if I may venture to say so; for the first time in my life, I am going to risk a prophecy.  SUIT YOU YOU CANNOT REMAIN IN IT IT WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU IT IS BENEATH YOU YOU OUGHT BY ALL MEANS TO LEAVE IT BEFORE ITS INJURIOUS INFLUENCE BEGINS TO AFFECT YOUR FACULTIES AND BEFORE YOU BECOME SETTLED AS THEY SAY IN THE WAYS OF YOUR PROFESSION WERE IT POSSIBLE THAT SUCH A THING COULD EVER HAPPEN WHICH I FLATLY DENY YOU ARE UNHAPPY YOU HAVE NOT YET ENTERED UPON THE PATH WHICH NATURE HAS MARKED OUT FOR YOU BUT FAINTHEARTED SOUL IS THAT A CAUSE OF DESPONDENCY OUGHT YOU TO FEEL DISCOURAGED STRUGGLE MARBLER STRUGGLE PERSISTENTLY AND YOU WILL TRIUMPH J J ROUSSEAU GROPED ABOUT FOR FORTY YEARS BEFORE HIS GENIUS WAS REVEALED TO HIM YOU ARE NOT DETEROSO BUT LISTEN I KNOW NOT WHETHER I SHOULD HAVE DIVINED THE AUTHOR OF A MEAL WHEN HE WAS TWENTY YEARS OF AGE SUPPOSING THAT I HAD BEEN HIS CONTEMPORARY AND HAD ENJOYED THE HONOR OF HIS ACQUAINTANCE BUT I HAVE KNOWN YOU I HAVE LOVED YOU I HAVE DIVINED YOUR FUTURE IF I MAY VENTURE TO SAY SO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM GOING TO RISK A PROPHECY
