The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Note from Lady Catherine Herries to Mary Hamilton. She writes of the importance of the love and friendship between her and Hamilton, and of her health. Her physician is with her today and will give her something 'strengthening'. Herries will send her two books and Mrs Foote will send her Murphy's <i>Johnson</i>, though she has not yet finished reading it. [Herries is possibly referring to <i>An Essay on the Life and Genius of Samuel Johnson</i> by Arthur Murphy (1792).]</p>
