The Mary Hamilton Papers

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from Francis Napier, 8th Lord Napier, to Mary Hamilton. At the top of the sheet Napier has written 'From the Living to the Dead. No. 1'. He complains that he has been expecting for a number of months a letter from the underworld, where he assumes Hamilton has taken up residence. He continues in the same vein, claiming that he daily examines the list of marriages and deaths but is still unsuccessful in accounting for Hamilton's silence.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Edinburgh.</p>
