Description:
|
In the first note (25 November 1779) Hamilton writes on her poor health. She is ill with a cold which has affected her eyes which have almost closed and she is finding it difficult for her to write. Hamilton writes that she has much to do but because of the pain that she is in is unable to do. The second note is dated December. Hamilton writes that it was her duty to wait (upon the Royal family) and that the Queen was more 'than usually kind'. She also notes that a 'Mr J' continues to torment her and has sent her a present which she has returned. The third note (21 May 1780) Hamilton writes that Gunning's note has raised and that she will write a type of journal for Gunning and that she expects the same from Gunning. The final note (10 August 1780) is incomplete. Hamilton has not time enough to write Gunning a long letter but forwards her one she has written to 'LW' [Lady Wake?] for her to read. In it she notes that she has outlines how she spends her day and writes that it will please Gunning 'to follow me through the day'.
