give deserved praise

We ought to give deserved praise, even if it is not reciprocated. Remember the story of General Robert E. Lee? He was asked for and gave his high opinion of a certain man. Someone apparently observed that that was not how that person felt about General Lee. General Lee reportedly replied, "But you asked me for my opinion of him." Commending communications ought to flow from us without too much concern with "the balance of trade."
