 " farmers for work. You will find 

 " it immediately, and with good 

 " wages. What should the people 

 " in this country see in your face to 

 " induce them to keep you in idle- 

 " ness? They did not send for you. 

 '< You are a young man, and you 

 " come from a country of able 

 " labourers. You may be rich if 

 " you will work. This gentleman 

 " who is now about to cram you 

 " with roast beef and plum pudding 

 " came to this city nearly as poor 

 " as you are ; and, I first came to 

 " this country in no better plight. 

 " Work, and I wish you well ; be 

 " idle, and you ought to starve/

 N. B. If this book should ever reach the 

 hands of Mr. RICHARD HUIXMAN, 

 my excellent good friend of Chilling, 

 I beg him to show this note to Mr. 

 NICHOLAS FREEMANTLE of Botley. 

 He will know well all about this
