Digby (née Gunning), Charlotte Margaret

The Mary Hamilton Papers

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Charlotte Gunning to Mary Hamilton. She asks Hamilton whether she is dead or simply away from London. Gunning has agreed to direct her letters to Sir William Wake and has not yet received a reply from Hamilton. She asks if the letters have fallen into Sir William's hands and not reached her. She understands that Sir William has bought a house in Essex and wishes to know if Hamilton intends to spend her summer there with them. Gunning sends Hamilton a pattern for a border and asks her to go to Hodgkins to purchase her the material. She continues with general news of the weather and of friends, writing that she has 'so many visits hanging over me, that I feel quite oppressed with them'.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Horton.</p>
