Content Description

Asking his son for six guineas to relieve his distresses. He had asked another son, Harry, to buy a picture, but he had refused, alleging lack of money, which Morland says was by no means true. Morland urges his son to think of the example of [his son-in-law] Mr Ward, who kept his father and mother, and did not get as much as either of his sons.
