The Mary Hamilton Papers

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Charlotte Finch to Mary Hamilton. She writes about Hamilton’s letter to Mrs Fielding and notes that Mrs Fielding had left 36 hours before its arrival for Lisbon. [This letter was sent before she had received the news that her daughter’s ship had been taken by an American vessel.] The letter continues on the health of her son. He has been taking the waters at Caldas which are said to be beneficial but are best taken over a period of time. Finch thanks Hamilton for her letter and notes that it gave her great pleasure to read about the Prince of Wales affection for her. She expects that everyone is now settled in Windsor, ‘how differently my dear Miss Hamilton are you & I situated’.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Caldas.</p>
