THE TRAVELS OF
LETTER IV.
DEAR SIR,
WHEN ſix or ſeven months had elapſed from the time I was firſt received by Mr. Baker, my mother unhappy at the idea of parting With me, and reſigning her child to the care of an European, came to him, requeſting, in the language of ſupplication, that I might be given up to her: moved by her entreaties, he had me brought before her, at the ſame time obſerving, that it was to remote from his intentions to keep me from her, he was perfectly reconciled to part with me, were it my
inclination.
