Summary

The Daughter's Answer.

Honoured Father,

I Received your Letter Yesterday, and am sorry I stay’d a Moment in my Master's House after his vile Attempt. But he was so full of his Promises, of never offering the like again, that I hoped I might believe him; nor have I yet seen any thing to the contrary: But am so much convinced, that I ought to have done as you say, that I have this Day left the House; and hope to be with you soon after you will have received this Letter. I am

Your dutiful Daughter.
