society this evening; more especially as my mind is
depressed by the late news from Europe. I would force
myself to wait on you to-night, as I proposed to do, were
I not convinced of your willingness to make allowance
for unexpected circumstances.
From the late unhappy news. I am obliged to conclude
that I shall not live to see liberty universally restored to
the nations of Europe, and Asiatic nations, especially
those that are European colonies, possessed of a greater
degree of the same blessing than what they now enjoy.

Enemies to liberty and friends of despotism have never
been, and never will be, ultimately successful.
Adieu, and believe me,
Yours very sincerely,
Rammohun Roy.
