Dear Sir,
Elizabeth Tarrant the Servant I named to you, has lived with us five Years and will be glad to go into your Service as soon after the 18th inst as you please. We can thoroughly recommend her – She requires £12- a Year as Wages.
She is 20 Years of age, though she looks younger, is very healthy and strong, and very willing – I hope she will suit Mrs Talbot <1>
I remain
Yours truly

1. Constance Talbot, née Mundy (1811–1880), WHFT’s wife.
