Letter from Louisa Murray, Lady Stormont, to Mary Hamilton, concerning the Duchess of Portland (see HAM/1/7/11<\/a>), Mrs Delany (see HAM/1/6/3<\/a>) and Bulstrode. She begins her letter by asking Hamilton to send her an account of her time in Derbyshire as she is 'both anxious & interested' and is sorry that she had to leave the company of Delany and the Duchess at Bulstrode. She continues that Lord Stormont was delighted by Bulstrode [the Duchess of Portland's estate] and of an 'accident that deprived her [the Duchess] of the pretty Zebra'. Stormont's sons were 'much affected' by the story and repeat it 'very pathetically'.<\/p> Stormont continues her letter with news of her children and of Hamilton's friends and relations, including Lady Frances Harpur (see HAM/1/16<\/a>) and Lady Cathcart.<\/p> Dated at Wandsworth Hill.<\/p>"
