To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I would not, for the world, leave a sting in his mind that should embitter his future days. " He could scarce finish the sentence, bursting into tears, in spite of his efforts to suppress them, and with difficulty collecting himself enough afterwards to add, "I wish to be per mitted to assure him, I did not act under this impres sion, not submitted to a necessity imposed upon me, as contrary to my own inclinations, as to his orders. " His request was readily complied with, and he wrote the lett...er annexed, with which I dare say you will be as much pleased as I am, both for the sentiment and dic tion. When his sentence was announced to him, he re marked, that since it was his lot to die, there was still a 16 choice in the mode, which would make a material dif ference to his feelings; and he would be happy, if pos sible, to be indulged with a professional death. He made a second application by letter, in concise but persuasive terms. It was thought that this indulgence, being incompatable with the customs of war, could not be granted ; and it was, therefore, determined, in both cases, to evade an answer, to spare him the sensations, which a certain knowledge of the intended mode would inflict.
