Transcript or Index | Madam It is with the greatest reluctance I now write from the fear of giving you uneasiness, but I am compell'd to inform you it is wholly out of my power to continue Miss Feilding in my family for the period agreed on, an unpleasant change in her manners (I conclude from some dislike to me or my House) has made it absolutely necessary we should part, which we are now about to do by mutual consent. Miss Feilding has another situation in view that I beliee to be unexceptionable, & only waits your permission to accept of [page 2] it is at a Mrs Percivals in the Circus, who has agreed to take her for the remainder of the time on condition that I pay her ten Guineas one half of the premium I received from you which with your leave I readily consent to do. At the same time I wish it to be understood that I make no complaint against Miss Feildings moral conduct, no young woman in that respect can act with more propriety, what I particularly object to is an incivility in her manners towards me that I am quite unaccustom'd to, & an inattention to business totally adverse to her own improvement & extremely inconvenient to me. I feel much hurt in being obliged to point out to you any defects [page 3] in Miss Feilding well knowing how highly she values your kindness & good opinion but an explanation which is due to you & a regard for my own character require me to be explicit on the subject I am Madam with great respect yr oblig'd humble servant E Edgell Bath 1804 Decr 24 |
