<h2> To Mrs GWYLLIM, at Brambleton-hall. </h2>
<h3> GOOD MRS GWYLLIM, </h3>
<p>Heaven, for wise porpuses, hath ordained that I should change my name and
citation in life, so that I am not to be considered any more as manager of
my brother's family; but as I cannot surrender up my stewardship till I
have settled with you and Williams, I desire you will get your accunts
ready for inspection, as we are coming home without further delay.—My
spouse, the captain, being subject to rummaticks, I beg you will take
great care to have the blew chamber, up two pair of stairs, well warmed
for his reception.—Let the sashes be secured, the crevices stopt,
the carpets laid, and the beds well tousled.—Mrs Loyd, late Jenkins,
being married to a relation of the family, cannot remain in the 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</p>
<p>Your loving friend, TAB. LISMAHAGO NOV. 20.</p>
