In the midst of my despair, I do not disdain to contribute what little I can to the benefit of mankind.

I acknowledge your right to be informed of the events that have lately happened in my family.

Make what use of the tale you shall think proper.

If it be communicated to the world, it will inculcate the duty of avoiding deceit.

It will exemplify the force of early impressions, and show the immeasurable evils that flow from an erroneous or imperfect discipline.
My state is not destitute of tranquillity.
