48 TRB AMERICAN POLITE LETTER WHITER* LETTER XLIIL A Letter from a Young Milliner to her Parents, living at a distance. Baltimore, July 24th, 1828. Dear Parents— I have taken the liberty of writing these few lines to you, hoping that they may find you in good health, as I am at present,—thank God. Give my love to all inquiring friends, and in particular to--------. Please to write me an answer as quick as possible, and let tne know how all the family are; as also whether you ‘have had any sickness in yout neighbourhood. We have had a very healthy season in this place, and, indeed, every reason to hope a continuance. I make great progress in the millinery business, and were it not for fear of the crime of self-praise, I could tell a great deal concerning my ingenuity in that business. Suffice it to say, that very few know their business better in our line than I do, although some have been a great deal longer at the business than myself. I hope to be able to send you a specimen of my work in a few days—at the same time,' believe me my dear parents to be affectionately yours, ELIZABETH BRISCOE.
