Parent Work Title:
Letter from John Dickenson
Creator:
Dickenson, John, approximately 1757-1842
Creator Role:
Author
Date Created:
1785
Description:
The letter does not have a complete date, only a year, but is addressed to Miss Hamilton and the contents of the letter suggest that it was written directly before their marriage and can be dated as late May or early June 1785. Dickenson writes that this will probably be the last time which he will write to 'Miss Hamilton from Taxal, and I hope to return to this place with the amiable partner of my Life'. The letter continues on Dickenson's hopes that he will always realise the worth of Hamilton.
