The letter contains news of the Royal family and society news, in particular the marrying of 'great fortune[s]'.

The new Duchess of Atholl is described as being an elegant and pretty woman with a 'uniform and general great Character'. Her behaviour to her first husband, Lord Mcleod \u2013 who, she notes, was old enough to be her father \u2013 was everything that it should be.
