</

suggestion of a Cheap Linen Shop, which might furnish
<
lb

</
lb

Serving work for the female part of the establishment, and
<
lb

</
lb

from whence the Hospitals of Bridewell and Bethlem and
<
lb

</
lb

any other Public Bodies who approved of the Plan of
<
lb
>
</
lb

employment as a measurer of general utitity might be
<
lb

</
lb

supplied with linen, and all Articles of Plain and useful
<
lb

</
lb

a Mire for the female Sex.That for this part of the establish (ment
<
lb

</

it would be expedient to solicit the protection and inspection
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of those Ladies whose benevolence interest them in the forlorn
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Situation of the unemployed female Poor; and if more
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
employment were wanted, a Sufficiency might be obtained,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
by Selling to the Poor, at a reduced Price, as is done at
<
lb

</
lb

Harting fod bury in Herts and at Bamburgh Castle in
<
lb

</
lb

Northumberland, in both instances with as much individual
<
lb

</
lb

Charity and relief to the Poor who purchase, as advantage
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and occupation to the Charities who supply them.
