I have been little accustomed to the use of it, but I have nothing else to do, and my pre- sent situation stands in need of being beguiled of its cares. I am without books, and am not permitted to leave my chamber. I have, therefore, no alternative. This, or nothing is my lot. I cannot consent to pass a life of inactivity. But what shall I write? There is something whimsical in this undertaking. For a man of my ha- bits, at the age of sixty, to sit down to the writing desk! Nothing would have been less expected a month ago, and nothing but the unfortunate cir- cumstances in which I am placed would reconcile me to it. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-02001.xml Tue, 03 Feb 1970 12:00:00 GMT
