The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Francis Napier, 8th Lord Napier, to Mary Hamilton, concerning a disagreement between Napier and Hamilton. 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 is 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>
