The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Rev. Hon. Archibald Hamilton Cathcart to Mary Hamilton. Cathcart is unable to visit Hamilton the following day due to the death of his wife's sister-in-law, Mrs Taylor [Albinia Jane Taylor (née Jefferyes), widow of Colonel Stephen Francis William Fremantle (d. 1794)], leaving 'some very unprotected girls'. This, together with the 'alarming manner in which a Nephew of hers is returned in Portugal', has made his wife so unwell that he feels that he cannot leave her at present.</p>
