Wanted: a young woman, under twenty who has had the small-pox, and has not been long in town, as a maid-servant of all work, in a genteel family. She must turn her hand to everything, as it is proposed putting her under a Man-cook of skill and eminence. She must get up small things, and even large ones occasionally, understanding clear-starching without clapping, and know something of pastry, at least to make standing crust; and also preserving fruit. Good wages and proper encouragement will be given, if she proves handy, and can easily conceive, according to the instructions given her.
According to the book The Covent Garden Ladies by Hallie Rubenhold, this was one of the best exemplare how brothel owners like Charlotte Hayes advertised to lure young and naive women into their service by seemingly offering a simple household servant job.
