for my children's children

........................but, if years do not bring failure, they will perhaps
help you to understand how our thoughts and, therefore, our
expressions change. If you have your joys, you will have
your sorrows ; if your lives have shades, they will have their
lights, to show the contrast ; and then you will understand
my thoughts, and why I wrote them down. I should like to
live to see those days ; but, whether I do or not, in your
hearts may I always live as your affectionate

FATHER.
