a mere matter of sentiment

[Langsuyar]

¿Cómo se traduciría "matter of sentiment" en el texto siguiente?: "Well, no," I replied; "I do not think I should be so philanthropic myself; although I might, for the sake of memory, just as a mere matter of sentiment, leave a woman some trifle a year, settled on herself, of course strictly."
Gracias y un saludo.
