Description:
Hamilton's letter is concerned with 'mischief-making' and at court which was aimed at her. She was accused of saying things that did not by 'Atassa'. 'I shall live in a continual dread of some secret stab for how is it possible to guard against such a being'. She writes of being unhappy and how such things make her regret entering her situation at court. She asks that Gunning show this letter to Lady Wake when she has the opportunity as it will give her some comfort to know that two friends are sympathizing for her together. Hamilton continues her letter with general news on acquaintances.
