The Mary Hamilton Papers

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from William Wake to Mary Hamilton. He writes that he had hopes to have the pleasure of seeing Hamilton tomorrow but his journey to London has been postponed until the following Thursday due to his father being confined with gout. He notes that the farm looks very pleasant considering the late Spring but he and his mother, Lady Wake, have not been able to take their walks in the forest as yet because of the wet weather. Wake misses Hamilton and writes that the window of her room [she used when she stayed with the Wakes] 'which I told you I should often look at I have frequent opportunity of contemplating as that is now my Room'.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Upshire Farm.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original reference No. 14.</p>
