Napier, William, 7th Lord
The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from William Napier [later 7th Lord Napier] to Mary Hamilton. He is happy that Hamilton liked Mrs Carter's Poems which he had sent her (HAM/1/19/18), and it flatters his vanity that she agrees with his opinion, as he has great respect for her judgement. He will say no more on the subject in case she should think it flattery, 'a Crime I never was accused off[sic] before'.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Canterbury.</p>
