Abigail Adams establishes herself as credible mainly through constant reminders that she is John Quincy Adams's mother and therefore only wants the best for him. She starts the letter by saying, "My dear Son," which makes the letter very personal and establishes an affectionate tone. She also says that she hopes that she is not making a mistake in sending him, but is only trying to do the best for him. This makes her seem more humble, especially when she states, "You however readily submitted to my advice," which prevents her from coming off as overbearing and forceful. When she also says, "do Honour to your Country, and render your parents supreemly happy," she shows that as a parent, she would be happiest if he improved himself to be a "good citizen."

She says, "My dear Son." This shows that as his mother she knows him best. "You however readily submitted to my advice..." This establishes that she is an important figure in his life and has his best interests in mind. "I know you capable of these exertions..." This shows that she knows her son's capabilities and weaknesses.

AA's use of ethos:
1. "If I had thought your reluctance arose from proper deliberation, or that you was capable of judging what was most for your own benefit, I should not have urged you to have accompanied your Father and Brother..." She says that if she thought that his reluctance to go to France was rational, then she would not have pushed him to go.
2. "You however readily submitted to my advice." She builds her credibility by reminding him of the good decisions that she has made for him, and that he has listened to her before, and so she would like for him to listen to her wishes now in this letter.
This would accomplish her overall purpose of convincing him to learn a lot in France by reminding JQA that he is blessed to have this opportunity and that he should enjoy himself and the opportunity to learn.

1. AA's use of ethos:
"My dear son"
When she writes this, it reinforces the fact that she is his mother, so that he realizes that it is in his best interest to listen to her.

"I cannot fulfill the whole of my duty towards you..."
This reminds her son that it is a mother's duty to make sure her children make the right decisions, and that is ultimately why she is writing the letter.

2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of persuading John Quincy Adams to live up to his full potential by acting as a reminder that a mother wants only what is best for her son, so he should take her advice into consideration and realize what he is capable of.

AA admits wrongdoing to her son and shows why she sent him to the country, which gives reason to her decisions adding credibility. Also, She used a quote from an author to prove  her point, and authors of the time were some of the more educated people. AA also gives examples like, " Would Cicero have shone so distinguished an orater, if he had not been roused, kindled, and enflamed by the Tyranny of Catiline, Millo, Verres and Mark Anthony." this does not mean much to me but to John Q. Adams it was significant and proved her argument.

"Some Author that I have met with compares a judicious traveller, to a river that increases its stream the farther it flows from its source, or to certain springs which running through rich veins of minerals improve their qualities as they pass along."
