The Mary Hamilton Papers

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Incomplete and unsigned letter to Mary Hamilton, relating to Sir William and Lady Hamilton. The author notes that Sir William composed a charade and that he has been a convert to them after so long disliking them. The author mentions 'the house at Althorp' but does not herself live there. The author writes about society life, noting that she is disliked by a section of society and does not get invited to their balls. She does not remember a 'Count M.', apparently mentioned by Hamilton, but writes 'if he had not been wonderfully clever – I should have been very weary of his Passion'.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>The author's residence is apparently in the vicinity of Delapre and of Althorp in Northamptonshire.</p>
