Journal-letter from John Dickenson to his wife Mary née Hamilton covering the period 23-24 February 1786. He recounts Mrs Vesey's party, where Hannah More had added a section to his letter (HAM/1/2/8/1). He visited Mrs Vesey and Mrs Delany who asked him to tell Hamilton that she does all she can to keep up her spirits, including playing with a kitten. He writes of the errands he has run, and has complained to the Comptrollers of the Post Office about the difficulty of receiving letters from Derbyshire.

He also visits Frederick Hamilton and his family, where he hears Miss Hamilton sing. In the evening he visits Mrs Delany, where he is introduced to Mary Hamilton's cousin, Charles Greville.
