The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from William Kerr to Mary Hamilton. He asks Hamilton to enquire with Lady Charlotte Finch about whether or not the Queen has a wet nurse in her employ. He is asking on behalf of a friend; a clergyman whose wife is well qualified for such a position. He apologies profusely if this request is inappropriate in any way, if not, he hopes that she would be able to come back to him with an answer, which he asks her to direct to an alternative address [that of a ‘Thomas Ducy Esq.’] as he will only be in Greenwich for the ‘Time of the Review.’</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Greenwich, [England].</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original reference No. 4.</p>
