Mrs. Matthews, of H——, informs me that you are in want of a second maid, and I now apply for the situation. Have been living for the last two years with Mrs. Richard Stevens, 19 Davis Street, E——, who will give me an excellent character. I have left her to take care of my sick mother, who is now quite well again, and does not need me any longer.
Am 23 years of age, and am strong and active. I received $4.50 a week from Mrs. Matthews. Should be very glad to come over and see you, any day you may please to name.
I remain,
Very respectfully yours,
Mary Sullivan.
