| Transcript or Index | My dear Madam

when you read I have left Lichfield
oweing to my inibility of conducting the
Buisiness, I fear you will not believe

to see if I can get any employment
but it with a very heavy heart as

in which I can get my Bread.
I beg you to excuse bad writing and [...?]
and Believe me My dear Madam
Your very Obliged
& Gratefull ser[van]t
