You talk always of my person, of my dangers.

Need I tell you, it is not necessary that I live; but it is that I do my duty, and fight for my Country to save it if possible.

In many LITTLE things I have had luck: I think of taking for my motto, MAXIMUS IN MINIMIS, ET MINIMUS IN MAXIMIS.
A worse Campaign than any of the others: I know not sometimes what will become of it.

But why weary you with such details of my labors and my sorrows?
My spirits have forsaken me.

All gayety is buried with the Loved Noble Ones whom my heart was bound to.
