Touching on the subject of the Americas, Napier notes that Mrs Litchfield had told Hamilton the truth \u2018about suckling children by the Blacks in America they likewise do the same in both the East & West Indies so that deceit & treachery are commonly most happily blended in most if not all the Americans, East & West Indians\u2019. He continues on the subject of the characteristics of the people of the age as being one of scandal and back-biting especially amongst those of high society. Napier ends his letter on the subject of the 7th Dragoons [regiment that is to camp near Hamilton's] which he understands to have some fine looking young men in it who will make a great addition at a country assembly by \u2018dancing with the Misses\u2019.<\/p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Canterbury.<\/p>"
