Transcript or Index | Dear Mrs Chaffer, I am really concerned to find that your humanity has drawn you into further trouble & inconvenience in receiving Miss Feilding it is very proper that you should be informed that she is now totally given up, both by my Bro[ther]r & myself; that you may not be further drawn into difficulties by any Consideration of attention or kindness to as we have been much too long Duped by her false promises they will avail no longer she has now finally decided her own fate, & must take the Consequence – since she Left Town, & went to Lichfield bills & lawyers Letters have been brought which prove that she has been dishonestly making use of my Brothers name for the purpose of Absolute Swindling – he has declared that she had no sanction for what she had done, so the whole now rests upon herself, & whenever it is known where she can be found they will probably throw her into jail. The kindest thing you can do is to advise her to seek shelter with some honest farmer or Cottager where she may exist & repent nothing Else can keep her from perdition I sometimes think that she must really be Insane, & that an apartment in Moorfields would be the best place for her but I’m afraid the disorder is much more belonging to the heart than to the head. & that it is too deeply rooted Ever to be eradicated – you may Communicate to her the Whole or any part of this letter if you please, I shall not reply to her Absurd Letter, there is nothing to answer – if she knew her own inability to perform the part she undertook it was worse than folly to engage in it, in short there is no Excuse to be made for any part of her Conduct |
