<p style='text-align: justify;'>Copy of letter from Mary Delany to Mary Hamilton, in which Delany mentions submitting a flower [one of her paper collages] to Hamilton's 'sentence' [as to whether suitable for presentation to the Queen]. She hopes that Hamilton's visit had done Hamilton 'as much good as it did' her, and she tells Hamilton that the Duchess Dowager of Portland had just missed her on Sunday evening.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Below is a copy of a message from Delany, transcribed as LWL Mss Vol. 75(22)(2), for Hamilton to transmit to Queen Charlotte, presumably with the flower.</p>
