And if to the dead it is permitted to care for the things of this world, every action of your life will be under my regard. Farewell.
Page 313 - I cannot tell you what a horrid state of mind I was in for a long time. I seemed to care for nothing ; the world was a blank to me. I abandoned all thoughts of the law.
