Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude wit

Summary

This quote suggests that letter writing is a unique way to experience the benefits of both solitude and companionship simultaneously. When one writes a letter, they are able to withdraw from the noise and distractions of the outside world, finding solace in their own thoughts and introspection. However, by sending a letter, one is also engaging in a form of communication that connects them with another person. The act of writing and receiving letters allows for a deep exchange of thoughts, ideas, and emotions, creating a sense of connection and "good company" despite the physical distance between individuals.
