I have here sent you a Little Pretty Pocket-Book, which will teach you to play at all those innocent Games that good Boys and Girls divert themselves with: And, while you behave so well, you shall never want Play, I assure you. This Character, my Dear, has made every Body love you and, while you continue so good, you may depend on my obliging you with every Thing I can. And, though you are sometimes naughty, she says you are very honest and good-humoured that you do not swear, tell Lies nor say indecent Words, and are always thankful when any Body gives you good Advice that you never quarrel, nor do wicked Things, as some other Boys do. Y our Nurse called upon me To-day, and told me that you was a good Boy that you was dutiful to your Father and Mother, and that, when you have said your Prayers in the Morning and the Evening, you asked their Blessing, and in the Day-time early in the Morning, keep yourself clean, and learn your Book that when you have done a Fault you confess it, and are sorry for it.
