& I) & have come to the conclusion that it will not be best for
him to do so, for reasons which I can better explain when we
meet. I wish you to advise him not to return, he has made

therefore we think it most prudent to let him get home
before he meets with any difficulty – He has kept clear of
any trouble while here and will leave I hope with a good
character, but he is becoming familiar with people who are not calculated to help his morals – when can you meet
me in New York? I shall stay there probably two weeks –
write to me there. From Locke
