Letter from Lady Catherine Herries to Mary Hamilton. She notes that her 'heart has written' to Hamilton 'a thousand times' since receiving Hamilton's last letter. 'How long you are silent'. Herries had written to her some time ago, since which she has heard of Hamilton from Miss Clarke but hopes that she will hear from Hamilton herself soon. Herries has been 'for me remarkably well this winter' but has been worried about the health of her sister Mary, who has suffered a relapse. Herries is to take her sister to Teignmouth and away from the heat of London for a few weeks. She is to take her husband's daughter, Nina, with her and also one or two of her brothers. Herries continues her letter with news of friends.
Dated at St James's Street, [London].
