may I use hence in a sentence such as

He wrote to his sister, hence he got proud of it

"Hence" isn't used much in the U.S., but use it as a substitute for "therefore" or "for that reason." Was he proud to have written to his sister?

He wrote to his sister; hence, he was proud.

I believe "hence" is related to "therefore" or "thus" in function, but differs in use. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't correct use require a noun after "hence"?

Applying this to the above example, we would therefore have:

Example: "He wrote to his sister, hence his pride."

As I understand it, hence is to be used when the action resulting from the preceeding statement is to be carried out in the future. Thus, in your sentence "therefore" and "hence" were interchangeable. My last sentence was supposed to be a clever use of "thus", "therefore" and "hence" in one sentence - I think I failed, thus I am failure.
