The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Note from Lady Catherine Herries to Mary Hamilton. She says that she has got a balcony box [at the theatre] and a 'promise that if any box below stairs be given up, I shall have it'. If not, they will have to content themselves with the balcony box, which will be 'no bad thing'. Herries will dine at half past four. She did not call on Hamilton the previous day as she remembered that she would be out of town, and she hopes that Hamilton had no 'commission' about 'poor Mrs Delany', as it occurred to her in the afternoon that she might have been unintentionally neglectful.</p>
