[In a copy of a letter to Friend Nahab Din. 69 lines,
then:] She's now ten years of age her mind is ripe for
plays; here is again a noble field of vanity presented to
Madam, her mind is wholly taken up with the pleasures it
affords, and an actress's part repeated by heart yealds
greater joy to her parents, then if she knew the whole
catechism, . . . [14 lines] the young lady's days are past
in receiving and paying visits her nights at balls and
masquerades, or at cards and dice; . . . [37 lines, signed]
