Letter from William Antrobus and Lady Cremorne (formerly Dartrey) to Mary Hamilton, written in two parts, and addressed to John Dickenson for him to break the news. The first is from Antrobus, who writes that Sir William Wake has died after a 'severe fit of the gout'. The second is from Cremorne, who says that she will be staying with her friend [Lady Wake], and who in a covering note asks Dickenson to show it to his wife 'when you judge proper'.
Dated at Waltham Abbey.
