My desire, fir, isnot to iacreafe my own fortune by
your means, I am abundantly rich; but it is the im
pulse of my heart which prompts me to accommodate,
protea, and render the Genevan emigrants, as happy
a people as the firft protestant colony upon earth. This
is my desire, and Ihould I accomolifh it, when called
on to quit this transitory life, I fhiil repose my being
in perfect tranquility, conscious, that by having ren
dered a deserving people happy, I (hall have erected a
more durable monument to my memory than marble
can boast or the most fkilhul artiddevi'e.
I will add no rrrore, fir, but a desire that you will
assure your fellow citizens of the high refped which I
entertain for their virtues. Their conduct entitles them
to every praise. A generous body of men, whom no
charms of climate, beauty of situation, or local attach
ment, can persuade to a belief, that happiness is to he
found where liberiy is banished! who by their conduct
afford the noblest proof; that they confider that part
of the globe only as the country of freemen, where
law is liberty,and probity is efleemed the greatest good !
For your and their prosperity, accept, fir, my find
cereft wifnes, and believe me to be, with profoun
efteem, &c. . .EL Y.-
