You know I am always admonishing, reproving, advising , or, in some way, trying to influence your conduct. I believe I have overdone [underlined] my duty, + have not, perhaps, left you enough to follow your notions of right + wrong. At any rate, my son, I think, you are now old enough to depend more [underlined] on your own judgement, and it is my determination not to attempt to restrain you so much in in time to come as I have done heretofore. �
