I am only writing to let you know
of my plans for suicide...
1:08:12
by poison or drowning,
I've yet to decide.
1:08:15
All my estate I'm leaving to you.
1:08:18
I have some personal debts to honor,
but everything else will be yours.
1:08:24
Do with it what you will.
It matters little to me.
1:08:29
Regretfully yours, Frederick.''
