Writes to his daughter telling her how much he loves her, but that "I am not alittle [sic] jealous that it is not so reciprocal as perhaps it ought to be. I do not mean as to degree that is that yours should equal mine - But I only desire a due proportion, an hundreth [sic] part or so of what I possess -" Asks for her to confide in him as if he were a female friend and "write the long letters - reciting all the little incidents which fall under your notice ..." Some text loss on the upper left side of the first page and second paragraph on the second page.
