Letter from John Hope to Mary Hamilton, relating to the patronage of a book Hope has written [probably Thoughts in Prose and Verse Started in his Walks (1780)]. He asks Hamilton to examine the book and to recommend it to her friends and acquaintances \u2018as containing some pretty light Summer-reading\u2019 which she may \u2018safely do without danger of exposing her own judgement\u2019 as reviews of the work have declared it \u2018at Heart entertaining\u2019. Hope notes that he himself is partially ashamed of the work and would \u2018gladly get the Impression sold off, without advertising my Name in the Newspapers\u2019.<\/p>

Hope ends the letter by stating that he will not trouble Hamilton with his history other than to say that he \u2018remains as poor, as unsettled, & as much as when I was at Northampton\u2019. [The word \u2018Northampton\u2019 has been scribbled out].<\/p>
