Description:
Napier writes that he is ill and confined to his bedroom. This and his low spirits have reduced him 'to a very poor animal'. Napier also writes of two marriages that are to take place. Hamilton's cousin, Miss Cathcart is to marry the Duke of Atholl & 'Miss Mary' to Napier's cousin Mr Graham of Balgowan. He asks Hamilton to indulge the Duchess Dowager by not speaking of the weddings until they are over. Napier writes that his son Francis has entered the army in the 31st Regiment of Foot Soldiers but will spend the next few years in Scotland finishing off his education as the Regiment is to be quartered in Scotland for a number of years which he notes was a great inducement for him to join that regiment. Napier ends his letter noting that this is only the second letter that he has written in many months. Hamilton inscribes this letter noting that the letter was written on the death bed 'of my dearest friend - I answer[e]d it by return of post & in answer rec[ieve]d the heart-breaking intelligence from his son L[or]d Napier that I had for ever lost my beloved my valuable friend'. Dated at Edinburgh.
