Description:
Hamilton writes of general news including her health. She also describes a drawing of Gunnings and writes of some poetry of which Gunning is the subject of. Hamilton also alludes to Gunning being involved in a possible romance and that the man must 'surely have merit, otherwise my sister w[ou]ld not have return[e]d home in such spirits after having spent some hours in a sort of tete a tete w[i]th him'. At the top of the letter Hamilton has written that a year ago that day her mother had died. She writes of the dreadful anniversary and of what she suffered at this time the previous year. She is determined however to 'banish gloomy ideas'. Hamilton signs her letter 'Miranda'.
