“For I thought of her grave below the hill,
Which the sentinel cypress tree stands over,

“My tendency to nervousness in my younger days, in view of the fact of a number of near relatives on both my father’s and mother’s side of the house having become insane, gave some serious uneasiness.

Finally, in battle.”
