Selma Johnson has lived with me for two years as cook.

I have found her honest, sober, industrious, neat in person as well as her work, of amiable disposition a very good cook.
She is leaving to my great regret because I am closing my house for the winter.
Selma is an excellent servant in every way and I shall be glad to answer personally any inquiries about her.
