She cannot leave London without writing Gunning a few lines. Hamilton is ill and has been 'sleeping 3 nights in different Beds' on hard mattresses, which has destroyed her rest.

Gunning anticipates calling on Hamilton but finding her not at home. She wishes to thank her for her present. She asks if Hamilton intends visiting Mrs Delany that evening and notes that her coach would be available.<\/p><p style='text-align: justify;'>The fifth note is dated 31 December 1784. Gunning writes that she has a moment before she has to leave for a play to ask how Hamilton is and when she will be in town.
