L.Lady G.Gask
July 9. 1767.
My Son &and I would
with the greatest pleasure give our
advice, or do any thing in our power,
for the young woman you mention.
Her Situation is no doubt very hard;
but for her business London is the pro-
perest place; but who can venture
to advise it for a young woman
like her? Her own good sense,
of which she has a great share,
will make her see, the place she
is in is not at all proper for her;
but by taking proper steps, &and be-
stirring herself a little, something
that’s good will cast up; for surely
the offspring of the Righteous will
never be forsaken.
