Madam.
I am much surprised
to find that you had
engaged another person
to do the work of Miss
Marain's in my place
I think I have been
treated most shamefullyto do a mean
action, I am only
too sorry that -- I stayed
when you asked me
I hope and trust that
you may get someone
that will do as
I have done, if it
is only for poor Miss
Marain sake, my
Husband is greatly
surprised the way I have
been treated, but I

after my doing the
hard work all the 
winter in all weathers,
and now the summer
is here I am not wanted
to do the light work,
I am writing this to 
ask you to get someone
to do the washing
had I have known
this before, I would
have let you know
before as I scornethank God that where
I have been before I can
go again.
I think it very mean
of Mary not to have
said anything to me
about the change but
if she is guilty of one
mean thing, I am not
surprised.
I am sorry if I have
put you to any inconvenience.
I am Madam
Yours Obedly
M Bryant
