Letter from Mrs Maria Eliza Rundell (née Ketelby) to Mary Hamilton (HAM/1/8/6/12)
Letter from Maria Eliza Rundell to Mary Hamilton, relating to Hannah More. Hamilton had offered a letter of introduction to Rundell and her daughters to More. Rundell writes that she and her daughters would be delighted to meet with More but that they feel as if they were ‘intruding on Time so valuable to herself and the world, unless we have sanction of yourself and of your request second our own inclinations’. She asks to know if their waiting on More would be seen as ‘obtrusive’ and if not then send the letter.
The letter continues on Rundell’s impression and good opinion of Louisa Dickenson and describes the landscape that she has visited on her journey she has been undertaking.
Dated at Llanash(?) near Crickhowell.
