I ask you to choose wisely then trust largely, assured that [unclear: in] you will possess a representative [unclear: act] by singleness of purpose, [unclear: freedom] personal ends, active in [unclear: thought] habits, and honest in my desire to [unclear: se]

With confidence I leave [unclear: myself] your hands.

Yours truly,
