We Owe To Our Mother-country

I Thank God, I Have Been Able, By Adopting Principles Of Strict Economy And Frugality, To Keep My Principal, I Mean My Country-estate, Unimpaired.

I Am Now Pretty Far Advanced In Life, And All My Views Are Center'd In The Happiness And Well-fare Of My Children; You Will Therefore Find From Me Every Indulgence Which You Have A Right To Expect From An Affectionate Parent.

No Point Is Of More Importance Than That The Right Of Impeachment Should Be Continued. Shall Any Man Be Above Justice?

I Give And Bequeath My Soul To Almighty God That Gave It Me, Hoping That Through The Meritorious Death And Passion Of Our Savior And Redeemer Jesus Christ To Receive Absolution And Remission For All My Sins.

This Cold Weather Has Set All The Young Folks To Providing Bedfellows. I Have Signed Two Or Three Licences Every Day [as A Fairfax Justice Of The Peace] Since I Have Been At Home. I Wish I Knew Where To Get A Good One Myself; For I Find Cold Sheets Extreamly Disagreeable.
