this, and ultimate determination, were from the
love of liberty. Many of my friends are aware,
with what idle pleasure have often dated upon

came with a stronger determination to be pleas

these was, a determination to leave my native
soil; therefore proceed to detail to YOU the
consequences already developed. and do trust.
