My very dear Eliza,
This letter will not be delivered to you
Unless I shall first have terminated
My earthly career to begin a happy immortality.
I'd need to tell you of the pangs I feel from the idea
of quitting you and exposing you to the anguish
which I know you wold feel.
Not could i'd well on the topic
lest it should unmane.
Fly to the bosom of your god and be comforted.
With my last idea: I shall cherish the sweet hope
of meeting you in a better world.
Adieu, best of wives and best of womens.
Ever yours, Alexander
