I HEAR THAT YOU HAVE DECLARED AN INDEPENDENCY .AND, BY THE WAY ,IN THE NEW CODE OF LAWS. I SUPPOSE IT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR YOU TO MAKE, I WISH YOU REMEMBER THE LADIES AND BE MORE GENEROUS AND FAVORABLE TO THEM THAN YOUR ANCESTOR .DO NOT PUT SUCH UNLIMITED POWER INTO THE HANDS OF THE HUSBANDS. REMEMBER,ALL MEN WOULD BE TYRANTS IF THEY COULD . IF PARTICULAR CARE AND ATTENTION IS NOT PAID TO THE LADIES ,WE ARE DETERMINED TO FOMENT A REBELLION AND WILL NOT HOLD OURSELVES BOUND BY ANY LAWS IN WHICH WE HAVE NO VOICE OR REPRESENTATION.
