LETTER XXXI.   

Hannah Burton. In Answer

Monday, July 3. 

Honored Maddam
I have not forgot to write, and never will forget any-thing you, my dear young Lady, was so good as to larn me. I am very sorrowfull for your misfortens, my dearest young Lady; so sorrowfull, I do not know what to do. Gladd at harte would I be to be able to come to you. But indeed I have not been able to stir out of my rome here at my Mother's, ever since I was forsed to leave my plase with a Roomatise, which has made me quite and clene helpless. I will pray for you night and day, my dearest, my kindest, my goodest young Lady, who have been so badly used; and I am very sorry I cannot come to do you love and service; which will ever be in the harte of mee to do, if it was in my power: Who am 

Your most dewtifull Sarvant to command
Hannah Burton.
