Excerpt from Change for the American Notes: In Letters From London to New York
Dunner John - How wearisome is a slow re covary from illness in the heart of a m' hty city, and that when you are widowed an alone; how loudly do clattering carriages and countless noises tell of boisterous and unsympathizing health without, and what a petty unit one 'feels within Do you not think it is this sensation of unaided loneliness that makes so many of our sex (i may admit it to you) feel or consider spinsterhood and wretchedness inseparable! Better social penury than solitary enjoyment; better the poor creature small beer, with the flavour of a family about it, than imperial Tokay sipped from an unmated glass self-love and social in this sense bear out the poet's axiom, and are, indeed, the same.
