During John's absence overseas, his daughter fell in love with a man of questionable reputation. John was forced to respond with a letter.
"It is by the female world...that the greatest and best characters among men are formed...when I hear of an extraordinary man...I naturally inquire who was his mother? There can be nothing in life more honourable for a woman, than to contribute by her virtue, her advice, her example...to the formation of an husband, a brother, or a son, to be useful to the world."
