capacity of a sarvant; therefore, I wish you would cast about for
some creditable body to be with me in her room -- If she can spin,
and is mistress of plain-work, so much the better -- but she must
not expect extravagant wages -- having a family of my own, I must
be more occumenical than ever. No more at present, but rests
Your loving friend,
TAB. LISMAHAGO
