I do not regard it as wrong to take my life, because I simply change my place of residence and go where my wife and baby are.

What we are only now beginning to fully realize is that in seeking material pleasure too constantly, the capacity for enjoyment or fulfillment decreases and eventually becomes exhausted.

I go gladly to my wife and boy, and I leave this world at peace with every one in it and at peace with God.

I believe in God and immortality.

My death will be caused by morphine, which I have deliberately taken with suicidal intent.

As a consequence, progress has come to mean simply more power, more profit, more productivity, more paper prosperity, all of which are convertible into standards concerned only with size or magnitude rather than quality or excellence.

The reason why I take my life is because I want to go to my wife and boy. My usefulness in this world is at an end. I can not be satisfied in any business and can not be without their companionship.
