To Be Good, And Do Good, Is

The Reins Of Government Have Been So Long Slackened, That I Fear The People Will Not Quietly Submit To Those Restraints Which Are Necessary For The Peace And Security Of The Community.

But Let No Person Say What They Would Or Would Not Do, Since We Are Not Judges For Ourselves Until Circumstances Call Us To Act.

I Acknowledge Myself A Unitarian

I Feel Anxious For The Fate Of Our Monarchy, Or Democracy, Or Whatever Is To Take Place. I Soon Get Lost In A Labyrinth Of Perplexities; But, Whatever Occurs, May Justice And Righteousness Be The Stability Of Our Times, And Order Arise Out Of Confusion. Great Difficulties May Be Surmounted By Patience And Perseverance.

I Hope Some Future Day Will Bring Me The Happiness Of Seeing My Family Again Collected Under Our Own Roof, Happy In Ourselves And Blessed In Each Other.
