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 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.

I have no ill will in my heart against anybody in this world.

I, Alexander B. Campbell, make this statement of the cause of my death to relieve the coroner of the necessity of an inquest, and also let my friends know the motive that led me to take my own life.

My friends all regarded me as a man of unsound mind because I held the view that my wife was with me in spirit always. I have lived with her spirit guiding me every day and she is with me now as I write this letter, and helps me to do as I am now doing.

I am through with this body, and what becomes of it will make no difference with me in the future.

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.
