Description:
In the first letter, dated 8 November 1779, Hamilton writes of an unwelcome visit by a gentleman. She notes that a man (whose name has been censored from the letter but it may have possibly been William Wake) 'took it into his head to pay me a visit'. Hamilton writes that she was frightened and confused as she 'dreaded any one coming and finding him in my apartments'. She notes that he actually told a foolish woman' that she had previously mentioned to Gunning and declared that he was aware of Hamilton's confusion and 'wish[e]d he had taken advantage of it'. He said that he could not bear the 'torture of suspense' which he has had for two years. Hamilton did not want to appear rude to him and she acknowledges that his behaviour towards her was respectable. In the second note (not dated) Hamilton writes on gossip.
