Description:
|
From John Dickenson (Hamilton's father-in-law, 1726-1810). In this light-hearted letter Dickenson writes that it is a month to the day since her marriage 'God help you' and that he now 'detests' her husband and that has transferred all the affections he once had for him on to her and 'will not suffer him to return to me without you'. Dickenson continues to note that if he ever considers disinheriting his son then she will be named in his place. The text on the back of the sheet is part of a different letter and relates to rents and mentions a Mr Wild who is an agent.
