The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Catherine Walkinshaw to Mary Hamilton, relating to the death of Walkinshaw's 'very favourite Sister' and to her own health. Before she died, 'for four weeks I expected every post would bring me the account of her death, and during that whole time, I had not spirits to goe any where or doe any thing, so that my own health has been much hurt, and now this last week[']s illness has allmost over-set me'. Although she has been in real distress following the death, she acknowledges that there is one comfort that 'will never fail in any Calamit[y]', and she submits to the will of God.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Maddox Street [London].</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original reference No. 13.</p>
