His quote:
"Perhaps in the lapse of gererations, when I who am now making these reflections, this present Samuel Eells who now sits at his table and pens these lines, shall be but a handful of dust sleeping in an unknon grave, --then perhaps some noble and ingeneous youth just starting full of hope and vigor in the great race of life will peruse this record, and when he has finished will lay his hand thoughtfully on his brow and wonder what manner of man was this Samuel Eells ..."
