Letter from Lady Catherine Herries to Mary Hamilton.

Herries continues on her pleasure at receiving Hamilton's last letter as it indicates that Hamilton's eyes are better. She advises her not to write too much so that she may rest her eyes. She is sure to like Hamilton's friend from court, d'Agincourt [Jean Baptiste Louis Georges Seroux d\u2019Agincourt: see HAM/1/7/1<\/a>] as much as Hamilton does herself. [Presumably Hamilton has suggested she visit him when she travels to Paris.]<\/p> Dated at Kensington, [London].<\/p>"
