This comes to acquaint you, that I shall set out in the Waggon on _Monday_, desiring you to commodate me with a Ludgin, as near you as possible, in _Coulstin's-Court_, or _Wild-Street_, or somewhere thereabouts; pray let it be handsome, and not above two Stories high: For Parson _Williams_ hath promised to visit me when he comes to Town, and I have got a good many fine Cloaths of the Old Put my Mistress's, who died a wil ago; and I beleve Mrs. _Jervis_ will come along with me, for she says she would like to keep a House somewhere about _Short's-Gardens_, or towards _Queen-Street_; and if there was convenience for a _Bannio_, she should like it the better; but that she will settle herself when she comes to Town.----_O! How I long to be in the Balconey at the Old House_----so no more at present from _Your affectionate Daughter_, SHAMELA. LETTER II. SHAMELA ANDREWS _to_ HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS. _Dear Mamma_, O what News, since I writ my last! the young Squire hath been here, and as sure as a Gun he hath taken a Fancy to me; _Pamela_, says he, (for so I am called here) you was a great Favourite of your late Mistress's; yes, an't please your Honour; says I; and I believe you deserved it, says he; thank your Honour for your good Opinion, says I; and then he took me by the Hand, and I pretended to be shy: Laud, says I, Sir, I hope you don't intend to be rude; no, says he, my Dear, and then he kissed me, 'till he took away my breath----and I pretended to be Angry, and to get away, and then he kissed me again, and breathed very short, and looked very silly; and by Ill-Luck Mrs. _Jervis_ came in, and had like to have spoiled Sport.----_How troublesome is such Interruption!_ You shall hear now soon, for I shall not come away yet, so I rest, _Your affectionate Daughter_, SHAMELA. LETTER III. HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS _to_ SHAMELA ANDREWS. _Dear Sham_, Your last Letter hath put me into a great hurry of Spirits, for you have a very difficult Part to act. I hope you will remember your Slip with Parson _Williams_, and not be guilty of any more such Folly. Truly, a Girl who hath once known what is what, is in the highest Degree inexcusable if she respects her _Digressions_; but a Hint of this is sufficient. When Mrs. _Jervis_ thinks of coming to Town, I believe I can procure her a good House, and fit for the Business; so I am, _Your affectionate Mother_, HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS. LETTER IV. SHAMELA ANDREWS _to_ HENRIETTA MARIA HONORA ANDREWS.
