In a word, I told them I would go with all my heart, if they would undertake to look after my plantation in my absence, and would dispose of it to such as I should direct, if I miscarried.
En un mot, je leur dis que j'irais de tout mon cœur s'ils voulaient se charger de conduire ma plantation durant mon absence, et en disposer ainsi que je l'ordonnerais si je venais à faire naufrage.
