Angelica writes that she just took leave of her mother, presumably her mother in law, who is 88 years old. She fears that she will not see her again as Angelica will be leaving for America soon. Asks Elizabeth to tell Alexander that the man he sent to mend her principles is being talked about. The people about town say, "he looks so like "a good Honest tradesman" that they hope he will make a good Bargain."
