It is impossible to communicate to you a conception of the
trembling sensation, half fearful, with which I am preparing
to depart. I am going to unexplored regions.... Shall I

dare not expect such success, yet I cannot bear to look on
the reverse of the picture.... Remember me with affection,
should you never hear from me again.
