As to the little chap, I'll take him at once.

You say he is a pretty boy; and a pretty boy is always a help in a linendraper's shop.

He shall share and share with my own young folks; and Mrs.Morton will take care of his washing and morals.

I conclude--( this is Mrs.M's.
suggestion)--that he has had the measles, cowpock, and whooping-cough, which please let me know.

If he behave well, which, at his age, we can easily break him into, he is settled for life.
