The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Martha Carolina Goldsworthy to Mary Hamilton. She writes that Hamilton does her an injustice if she thinks that it is want of affection that makes her not write. She jokes that she has been forbid from doing so by the King and Queen and she now writes against her conscience. Goldsworthy hopes that Hamilton has not been suffering with the same ‘horrid distemper’ that she has had that she ‘trusts in God the worst is now over’. She continues on Prince Adolphus who she describes as a fine boy, on Mr and Mrs Smelt and thanks Hamilton that the book manuscript that she has sent. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original reference No. 12.</p>
