The enclosed letter relates to the coach accident Lady Catherine Hamilton had and has a note on the back of the sheet stating that the letter is to be returned.

Lady Catherine writes that a group of peasants ran from a field and started to help, but instead further frightened the horses which made them veer to the left and the chaise went over a ditch. The horses were eventually stopped but the courier was badly injured. The chaise had driven over his collar bone and breast and he had been kicked in the face by a horse.
