They certainly take precedence of the other sex, both in moral excellence & intellectual refinement; they furnish a noble instance of consistency, in preserving themselves uncontaminated amid the acquisitive propensities & unamiable manners of their sovereign lords.Were it not for the climate, I could have spent my days there with a fair proportion of comfort, for I met with much kindness. I cherish no feelings of animosity against the Americans, though I have given my opinion freely on their affairs: to this they can have no reasonable objection; for as they allow freedom of speech amongst themselves, they cannot deny the same to a foreigner".
