[A Swedish lady seeks congenial employment.]
Madam: A few days ago I were happy enough to meet Mrs. J. Hansley and
she told me that you migh possible want to engauge a lady to work for
you. I am swede, in prime of like, in superb health, queite of habits,
and can handle a ordinary house. I can give references as to
characktar. If you want me would you kindly write and state wadges. Or
if you don't, would you do a stranger a favour and put me in thuch wit
any friend that want help. I hold a very good situation in a way, but I
am made to eat in the kitchen and made to feel in every way that I am a
inferior. I dont like that. I dont want a situation of that kind. They
are kind to me most sertainly in a way, but as I jused to be kind to my
favorite saddle horse. I dont want that kind of soft soap. Yours very
respecktfully, etc.
