But my Husband hath since appeared in Print, in a Way that's highly honourable to himself and gratifying to his Connexions, without being beholden to any Patron whatsoever. He has printed a Funeral Sermon on Mrs. _Eusebia Crate_, a highly estimable Member of his Congregation, which was brought out by Messrs. _A._ and _B. Thompson_, at the Sign of the _Bible and Star, Fleet Street_, handsomely bound in shiny black Leather, with a black Margin to the Title. This Sermon, which was published by Subscription, brought my Husband enough to buy a very handsome Mahogany Bookcase for his Study, and a Pair of Pulpit Sconces, besides its being named in the _Gentleman's Magazine_. And though Money was not my Husband's Object, yet, as the Work, it is thought, may attain to a second Edition, who knows but hereafter he may be as successful as Dr. _Hugh Blair_, who for his last Volume of Sermons received Six Hundred Pounds! Though amazing, it must be true, for they say it in _Pater Noster Row_! As for dear _Prue_, her Legacy was as acceptable to her as mine to me, for though _Tom_ conscientiously brings her all his Earnings and is now Captain of a fine Merchantman, Sailors are never over-rich; I think her queer Engagement to him steadied her a good Deal: it put an End to the least Approach to Trifling or Flirting, which she might have indulged in, had they been less seriously bound to one another; and my _Mother's_ Contempt for the Contract and "the Bit of red Glass," went so to poor _Prudence's_ Heart as to engender a Degree of Humility and Submissiveness quite contrary to her previous Character. With all this, she was deeply in Love with _Tom_, and silently, seriously happy; nor would she, I am convinced, have been released from her Engagement for the World. But it took away all Desire to be otherways placed than where she was, in the Bosom of her own Family, in the quiet, steady Performance of domestic Duties. So that, when I left Home, it was with the comfortable Conviction, which I have never seen the least Reason to alter, that she would supply my Place to my dear _Father_ and _Mother_, as well as in the Business. Indeed, since my Husband married her to _Tom_, the necessary Absences of the latter from his Wife have rendered it very agreeable to all Parties that _Prue's_ Home should still be in the _Old Chelsea Bun-House_. There's an Opposition House set up now, which has a little injured the old Business; but, happily, none of us are so dependent on it as we once were; and their Buns are accounted heavy, so that the ancient, steady-going Customers still resort to _The Old Original Chelsea Bun-House._ FINIS.
