SECT. 2. It will always be your interest to have a quarrel between the
maids and the ushers; it will prevent the latter from having more meat
and drink than they are allowed.
SECT. 3. If your maids are taken from taverns or inns so much the
better; they will bear with less reluctance the innocent freedoms of
the boys.--Many other rules might be added on this head, but it is
needless; if you adhere strictly to those that I have already
prescribed, you will not fail of success; and indeed I am rather afraid
you will think them already too many and too plain, as well as object
to this method of conveyance. To which I can only answer, that I could
think of no other so generally useful; and that notwithstanding some
few cautious parents, or guardians, may see more from it than might be
wished; you, I am sensible, will remember the rules, when they shall
have long forgotten for what good purposes they were given.
Lambeth, Jan. 7.
1770.
