say, useful life, my feelings are feel

dutiful children, of whom any man
might be proud. l have enjoyed the
respect, the confidence. and even the
love of my fellow citizens. i have been
chosen to the highest Offices in the
gift OF ny countrymen, and have only
just missed the presidency itself. But
there is one thing lacking, n thing
without which my fame will be neon

are forgotten when we are gone, and
as ] am rot to be permitted to live to
secure this one thing now lacking, |
