I have found out since I came over here that I've a great many more friends than I thought I had. I never was very gregarious, and today I'm not. But more people have showed an interest in me and my work (as seen from [[strikethrough]] my [[/strikethrough]] letters and reports from my mother) than I ever thought knew my name and address. I'm glad of that, for if any mishap does come to me I'll be peaceful minded about my friends and loved ones. And for them I'll be careful too.

Asking myself about it, it seems that all I want is to have it said of me that I played my part faithfully. And I want my people to be proud and not depressed and mournful for me.
