Chapter IX: Letter VIII

HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS _to_ LUCRETIA JERVIS.

_Madam_,

I Received the Favour of your Letter, and I find you have not forgot your usual Poluteness, which you learned when you was in keeping with a Lord.

I am very much obliged to you for your Care of my Daughter, am glad to hear she hath taken such good Resolutions, and hope she will have sufficient Grace to maintain them.

All Friends are well, and remember to you. You will excuse the Shortness of this Scroll; for I have Sprained my right Hand, with boxing three new made Officers.--Tho' to my Comfort, I beat them all. I rest,

_Your Friend and Servant_,

HENRIETTA, _&c._
