Scope and content
Explains that she is about to leave her present position as governess to the children of J.C. Newsom 'on account of religious difficulties'. Would be grateful to Morley if he could inform her of a position 'where no religious teaching would be required' of her. Refers to her doubts regarding popular theology, and claims that her reading of his [On] Compromise confirmed her in these doubts. Informs him that he is twenty-two years of age, and that she receives a salary of £25. Gives the address of her employer, who she says would be glad to answer any questions respecting her.
