lead to something very disagreeable to yourself and all of us. You have no cause as far as blood relationship is concerned to involve yourself in any dispuit between this man and his wife for was she a prudent woman she would act different to what she has done and really her son with every due respect for his mother related things to me about her mismanagement and want of thought that makes me consider it was almost necessary to have the other party as house keeper. Be that as it will I pray you will not in the least involve yourself in the quarrels of a most frivolous woman. I have had a little more experience in the world than you on these subjects and by interfering between one of our own aunts Mrs McIntyre I nearly got my head broken by herself. This advice my dear D comes from a sincear heart and hope you will make use of it. It is hard to say what trouble you might bring down on yourself
