I gave my heart to the Americans and thought of nothing else but raising my banner and adding my colors to theirs.

If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the clergy.

It is the pride of my heart to have been one of the earliest adopted sons of America.

Nothing hurts so much the interest and reputation of America as to hear of their intestine quarrels.

From an early period, I had the happiness to rank among the foremost in the American Revolution. In the affection and confidence of the people, I am proud to say, I have a great share.

The American women are very pretty and have great simplicity of character, and the extreme neatness of their appearance is truly delightful: cleanliness is everywhere even more studiously attended to here than in England.
