HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS _to_ SHAMELA ANDREWS.

_Dear Sham_,

Your last Letter hath put me into a great hurry of Spirits, for you have a very difficult Part to act. I hope you will remember your Slip with Parson _Williams_, and not be guilty of any more such Folly. Truly, a Girl who hath once known what is what, is in the highest Degree inexcusable if she respects her _Digressions_; but a Hint of this is sufficient. When Mrs. _Jervis_ thinks of coming to Town, I believe I can procure her a good House, and fit for the Business; so I am,

_Your affectionate Mother_,

HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS.
