 MY DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER,
-I am on board the brig ''La Naïade''. As yet, I am ignorant of my lot. Perhaps I shall never see you again. In that I do not accuse my destiny. No matter where I am, I entreat you to take courage, and sometimes to think of me. I will send you news of myself if I am not dead; give me news of yourselves if you have an opportunity. I am very well situated. I am with persons who are very good to me, and who promise to continue so. [[Isaac Louverture|Isaac]] and [[Saint-Jean Louverture|Saint-Jean]], do not forget your brother! I shall always love you. Many kind thoughts to you all; embrace my cousins for me. I embrace you as I love you.
