You will find rest there, and room - as much land as you can encompass in a day's ride, - and I promise you there the respect due a stranger to our shores, to your attainments, your industry, and your large, generous and tranquil nature. Or should you decide to return here, and not bear further abuse, come to my housetop and abide with me, where you will be welcomed and loved as a brother. And bear...
