man is ſo agreeable, that we have no objection to your marrying him; begging that you will ſeriouſly conſider the duties of that important ſtate, before it is too late to repent. Conſider well with yourſelf, that according to your conduct to each other, you muſt be either happy or miſerable as long as you live. There are many occurrences in life in which the beſt of mens tempers may be ruffled, on account of loſſes or diſappointments; if your huſband ſhould at any time be ſo, endeavour to make him as eaſy as poſſible. Be careful of every thing he commits to your keeping; and never affect to appear ſuperior to your ſtation, for although your circumſtances may be eaſy, yet, while in trade, you will find a continual want of money for many different purpoſes. It is poſſible ſome of your more polite neighbours may deſpiſe you for a while, but they will be forced, in the end, to acknowledge that your conduct was conſiſtent with the duties of a married ſtate. But, above all, remember your duty to God, and then you may chearfully look for a bleſſing on your honeſt endeavours. May God direct you in every thing for the beſt, is the ſincere prayer of
Your loving Father and mother.
