In the letter, Booth had written: I know how foolish I shall be deemed for undertaking such a step as this, where, on one side, I have many friends and everything to make me happy ... to give up all ... seems insane; but God is my judge.
在信中，布斯写道： 我知道我做的这些事被认为是多么愚蠢的，但从另一方面来说，我有很多朋友和让我高兴的一切......放弃一切......看上去的疯了，但上帝是我的法官。
