The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Francis Napier, 8th Lord Napier, to Mary Hamilton, questioning her affection for him. Napier notes that when he last wrote to Hamilton he mentioned that he had presented an application to the King for his appointment as Deputy Adjutant General in Scotland. This has not been granted. Napier supposes that she will not be concerned as, if she wished for his success, she would have, before this date, 'pardoned an unintentional Neglect'. He expresses his concern that Hamilton no longer treats him as 'her Friend & Brother'.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Welwyn [Hertfordshire].</p>
