Description:
Letter from Anna Maria Clarke concerning Mrs Hamilton who has had an accident and has suffered a fall. Clarke reports that Mrs Hamilton is 'not much disordered by it (the fall was from her chair) she cannot conveniently stir out'. Clarke writes in detail of the accident and assures Hamilton that she is not seriously hurt. She also writes with more general news of acquaintances. Lady Dartrey (HAM/1/11) has visited that morning and she is suffering from hearing loss which came on suddenly and which prevented her attending Court. She enquired after Hamilton has she had heard of her illness and has written to her three times but as yet received no response. Clarke light-heartedly reports that Mrs Hamilton is very much obliged to 'their Royal Highnesses for the honour of the very pretty Billets the intelligence the Princess Royal has been so good as to send her' of Hamilton which she finds very interesting and she cannot forgive Hamilton 'for concealing it'. Although she is not 'intimately acquainted with Monsieur le Compte' the fact that her Royal Highness has given Hamilton permission to accept his marriage proposal assures her that he must be worthy.
