The Father's Answer, on a Supposition that he approves not of the young Man's Addresses.
Dear Polly, Northampton, Apr. 10.
I have received your Letter dated the 4th Instant, wherein you acquaint me of the Proposals made to you, thro’ your Cousin Morgan's Recommendation, by one Mr. Derham. I hope, as you assure me, that you have given no Encouragement to him: For I by no means approve of him for your Husband. I have inquired of one of his Townsmen, who knows him and his Circumstances very well; and I am neither pleased with them, nor with his Character; and wonder my Cousin would so inconsiderately recommend him to you. Indeed, I doubt not Mr. Morgan's good Intentions; but I insist upon it, that you think nothing of the Matter, if you would oblige
Your indulgent Father.
Your Mother gives her Blessing to you, and joins with me in the above Advice. Your Brother and Sister, and all Friends, send their Love and Respects to you.
