Letter from Lady Catherine Herries to Mary Hamilton, relating to Herries's visit to Buxton.
Herries thanks Hamilton and Dickenson for their help with locating lodgings for her stay in Buxton. Herries had written Dickenson on Saturday (HAM/1/17/155) to inform him of Nina Herries's illness and the necessity of 'putting off if possible the arranged lodgings'. Nina is now much improved and they hope to set out for Buxton next Friday and she hopes to take the same lodgings. The letter ends on the subject of the upcoming wedding of Hamilton's sister-in-law Elizabeth to the Chevalier Palombi. Herries knows that Hamilton and her family will be in a 'bustle' at the moment over this.
Dated at St James's Street, [London].
