I go gladly to my wife and boy, and I leave this world at peace with every one in it and at peace with God.

The reason why I take my life is because I want to go to my wife and boy. My usefulness in this world is at an end. I can not be satisfied in any business and can not be without their companionship.

My friends all regarded me as a man of unsound mind because I held the view that my wife was with me in spirit always. I have lived with her spirit guiding me every day and she is with me now as I write this letter, and helps me to do as I am now doing.

A good book is a world where you go in and stay gladly.

We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.

I have no ill will in my heart against anybody in this world.
