Why does not my sweet Girl subscribe Sister, as usual? I have done nothing amiss to you! I love you dearly, and ever will. I can't help my Brother's Faults. But I hope he uses you with Politeness and Decency. He shall be none of my Brother, if he don’t. I rest a great deal upon your Prudence, and it will be very meritorious, if you can overcome yourself, so as to act unexceptionably, tho’ it may not be deserv’d, on this Occasion: For in doing so, you’ll have a Triumph over Nature itself; for, my dear Girl, as you have formerly own’d, you have a little Toucha of Jealousy in your Composition.

The injured Party is generally the last that hears in these Cases, and you shall not first be told any thing by me that must afflict you, but cannot you, more than it does me.

Your ever affectionate Sister,
B. DAVERS.
