MADAM,
The Bearer, Jane Adams, is well recommended to me as a diligent, faithful Body, who understands her Needle well; is very neat, and housewifely; and, as you desired, no Gossip or Make-bate,and has had a tolerable Education, being descended from good Friends. I make no doubt of her answering this Character. Of which I will satisfy you farther, when I have the Honour to see you. Till when I remain
Your most obedient humble Servant.
