From the Cousin to the Father and Mother, in Commendation of the young Gentleman.
Dear Cousins, Northampton, Apr. 12.
I give you both Thanks for so long continuing with us the Pleasure of Cousin Polly's Company. She has intirely captivated a worthy Friend of mine, Mr. Derham, a Linen-draper of this Town. And I would have acquainted you with it myself, but that I knew and advised Cousin Polly to write to you about it; for I would not for the world any thing of this sort should be carried on unknown to you, at my House, especially. Mr. Derham has shewn me his Letter to you; and I believe every Title of it to be true; and really, if you and my Cousin approve it, as also Cousin Polly, I don't know where she can do better. I am sure I should think so, if I had a Daughter he could love.
Thus much I thought myself obliged to say; and with my kind Love to your other Self, and all my Cousins, as also my Wife’s, and Sister’s, I remain
Your affectionate Cousin.
