I Consider Nature A Vast Chemical Laboratory In Which All Kinds Of Composition And Decompositions Are Formed.

I Have Had A Fairly Long Life, Above All A Very Happy One, And I Think That I Shall Be Remembered With Some Regrets And Perhaps Leave Some Reputation Behind Me. What More Could I Ask? The Events In Which I Am Involved Will Probably Save Me From The Troubles Of Old Age. I Shall Die In Full Possession Of My Faculties, And That Is Another Advantage That I Should Count Among Those That I Have Enjoyed. If I Have Any Distressing Thoughts, It Is Of Not Having Done More For My Family; To Be Unable To Give Either To Them Or To You Any Token Of My Affection And My Gratitude Is To Be Poor Indeed.

I Am Young And Avid For Glory.
