The Mary Hamilton Papers : Letter from William Napier, 7th Lord Napier, to Mary Hamilton

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 apologises for not writing sooner, but he has been dangerously ill with a bowel complaint, which he asks her not to mention when writing to Mrs Napier, as he has only acknowledged ‘a little Sickness’ to her. Napier is pleased that Hamilton has started riding, as he was uneasy about her sedentary lifestyle. He is happy for a more selfish reason, that they can now go riding together when they are in Buxton. In the absence of a frank, Napier encourages Hamilton to send her letters with postage unpaid. A collar of brawn made by an old acquaintance has been sent to Hamilton's mother, and he wishes to know about its arrival and quality.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Canterbury.</p>
