been harassed by a series of domestic vexation & perplexity which I conceive would have worn the patience of a greater stoic than I profess to be, yet I cannot believe that even in the most trying moments, I could ever have been so far transported by passion as to wish to renounce a country, altogether the most beautiful, the most healthy, & the most desirable to reside in that I have yet seen.
I have nevertheless long ceased to wish to spend more than a day at a time with you, feeling perfectly convinced by your conduct as well as your assurances that it is most for our comfort & credit to live separate: & your two last letters have entirely cured me of the wish of conversing with you in any other manner than by letter.
