is the only return I can make the ladies and gentlemen who
have so generously undertaken to relieve the unfortunate.
I sincerely wish the Society was larger, it would add (not
only to our amusement, but) to the beneficent intention
which it is founded. Sorry I am, Mr. Printer to find the
ladies of your town, so deficient in point of humanity,--the
characteristick of the sex; also surely is [ ] would have
reach'd out their hands to [ ]te the distressed widow and
orphan. Let me here then give the praises due, and indulge
myself in contemplating the beauties and merit, of each of
our fair benefactresses.----The merit of the one demands
universal applause, and tho' given, 'tis inadequate to the
obligation.---- The charms of the other, inspires universal
rapture, and the innocency of her carriage [ ]
Never did beauty and virtue appear more amiable, than when
accompanied by charity.
Gentlemen, I shall say but little to you---'tis enough to
have the approbation and the thanks of the publick. Your
admirer, S.B.
