Now that Hamilton has married, Napier writes to her not as a \u2018Miss about St James's\u2019 but as the \u2018far more respectable\u2019 country housewife. Napier writes that he had not heard of Mr Glover's death until Hamilton's letter and notes that \u2018whatever airs I may have given myself relative to his writings, be assured I respected him from knowing his disinterested attachment to you\u2019. Napier writes of illnesses in his own family. His daughter Mary has smallpox and whilst he was in Ireland on business relating to his \u2018vexatious legacy\u2019 he received a letter from his wife informing him that she had scarlet fever. He returned home immediately and found her out of danger from the fever but dangerously ill from a bowel complaint.<\/p><p style='text-align: justify;'>He writes of an inaccurate newspaper account concerning his wife and the Duchess of Rutland. It is true that Maria dined with the Duchess privately on a number of occasions but she had not sufficiently recovered from the birth of her daughter to \u2018be able to exhibit herself in public. The Duchess had no companion with her, consequently was reduced to the necessity of feeling herself obliged to Maria for being with her at all\u2019. He describes the Duchess as a \u2018silly woman, not comfortable in her matrimonial connection and of course more an object of pity, than Envy\u2019.<\/p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Cork [Ireland].<\/p>"
