TitleLetter from Robert Sparrow of Worlingham Hall [Suffolk], to his granddaughter, Millicent Sparrow
Description[Very hard to decipher]. Starts with the expectation of receiving a letter from Millicent. Continues with mention of Millicent's extended stay in London and the delay in visiting him. The majority of the letter contains warnings to Millicent to be wary of marriage prospects/promises made by fashionable gentleman whilst in London. Seems most concerned she takes heed when he says she may restrain her own behaviour but men will not be restrained after marriage. There is also a suggestion that he thinks she may never marry if her expectations are too high.
