| Description | (The date of this undated draft is very doubtful.)
[I pray that my son may have experience enough to distinguish and fortitude enough to despise and reject the propositions and examples of any dissipated young men as chance may bring him acquainted with. One of his greatest dangers will arise from his good nature and compliability. I cherish the hope that his native good heart, with good principles you have inculcated will carry him through the world in the character of an honest man.] |
