Description:
The letter relates to Dickenson's time at Bath and his social life while there. Whilst visiting a Mrs Hartley they make reference to the revolution in France. They discussed the 'dreadful situation' in France and Mrs Hartley asked that Dickenson send her a 'petition summation which their long parliament sent to the King' as she believed that he would have a copy amongst his papers. He notes that all he can say is that 'it shows the spirit of the people and that their own terms must be complied with - but not with an horrible occasion of Blood'. Dickenson also writes of his family and of his intentions of returning to them at the beginning of August.
