Letter from Francis Napier, 8th Lord Napier, to Mary Hamilton, discussing Hamilton's house at Leighton, of which she has sent him a drawing. He gives thanks that he does not have to pay her window tax, as he counted 42 windows in her drawing. He contrasts this with his style of living at camp, describing himself as a \u2018drowned Rat\u2019. He is tired of hearing drums, fifes and of marches and longs to be with his own \u2018regiment\u2019 at Wilton Lodge, [Roxburghshire]. He writes of his family and with the news that Lady Mansfield's soon will soon announce that he is to be married. He also notes that \u2018as soon as decency will permit\u2019 she is likely to announce her own. He notes that he \u2018hates that narrow minded mode of acting, to curtail a Widow's jointure, if she marries again.
