The text reads:

Molly mind what I say to you – lay my wig on the top of

the drawers take care of my bosom and don’t rumple it –

lay my eye in the dressing box and the row of teeth by

the side of it – and call in again for my eye-brows –

lay every-thing in such a manner that I may easily

find them in the morning as I wish to be made up

by twelve precisely – in order to meet my Lord

Ban-dash.
