Letter from Francis Napier, 8th Lord Napier, to Mary Hamilton. It relates to the death of Napier's brother-in-law, Dr [Andrew] Hunter, which he considers a public as well as a private loss. Hunter left his two daughters £3000 each, his young son £4000 and his eldest son will have a landed estate of at least £1200 per annum. He imagines that the eldest son will be burdened with the expense of the younger children.<\/p>

Napier also writes that he was delighted to receive a letter which was purportedly written by Hamilton but was in fact written by her daughter, Louisa. He says that Louisa writes very much like Hamilton but that he can read her writing without the use of his glasses which he cannot do when reading Hamilton's letters. He writes of \u2018Miss Hamilton's book\u2019 and that he does not think it will reform those \u2018class of people in this Country\u2019 such as the cottagers of Glenbernie(?). The price of the book \u2018will not admit of their purchasing it, & secondly, because they never will forgive her for exposing their manners to the Englishers\u2019.<\/p>

General Clavering remains at Newgate (HAM/1/20/233) as he \u2018will not condescend to tell the House of Commons that he did wilfully prevaricate, and that they acted justly, in committing him for doing so\u2019 and he must remain there as long as the session lasts.<\/p>
