To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his letters sent to England, he had spoken of his situ- ation as ' a land flowing with milk and honey' ; but I assure you patient reader, his appearance would have led any one to suppose that he gathered his honey rather from thorns than flowers. He was verily as ragged as a sheep : too much so for decency to de- scribe. And his house was more like the cell of a hermit who aims at super-excellence by enduring privations than the cottage of an industrious peasant. The bed on which he slept wa...s only like a bolster which he had used on shipboard, and laid upon a kind of shelf of his own constructing. Then again the walls of his house were of hewn timber as others, but the joinings or in- terstices were left quite open. The first night I passed in this miserable abode I was almost perished. My husband was obliged to heat a flat iron, and after wrapping it in flannel, apply it to my feet, so little were we protected from the inclemency of the wea- ther. Finding our comforts here so few, we determined to have a home of our own as soon as possible.
