The Mary Hamilton Papers : Letter from William Wake to Mary Hamilton
Wake, William, 9th Baronet
The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from William Wake to Mary Hamilton. He asks how Hamilton could send him such an 'uncomfortable' note. He wanted the coachman to return with a letter from her saying that they will meet again soon instead of which the coachman returned with only a short note stating 'as to Buxton we will talk of that another time', which he interprets as Hamilton declaring that she will not go to Buxton. Wake writes that Hamilton has 'employed all [...] [his] thoughts' since her departure. He continues in the letter on his disappointment at not seeing her and with news of his mother and father.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original reference No. 3.</p>
