What will my children say if I deprive them of so much estate?
These are difficulties, but not insuperable.

I will do as much as I can in my time, and leave the rest to a better hand.

I am not one of those ...

who dare trust in Providence for defence and security of their own liberty while they enslave and wish to continue in slavery thousands who are as well entitled to freedom as themselves.

I perceive the work before me is great.
