Asking her for "anything that comes into your head or heart about my Father or Mother--of whom I knew scarcely anything but the foibles; and never valued the affection. My own cruelty to them is now altogether frightful to me in looking back;" he adds that in his writing about his parents he will include "what the public may be modestly told to their own benefit--no more;" laying out which chapters will concern his Mother; adding he would like to include her letter in its entirety, "with the certainty of my never using anything as you do not wish."
