Description:
Frederick Hamilton writes to Hamilton assuring her of his regard for her and regrets that he missed seeing her when he travelled to Northampton. He has heard from Lord Dartey that she is to be of his party to Spa. He notes that his niece has no more 'zealous [a] friend than' Dartrey and suggest that she relies upon his judgements if need be. The letter refers to a previous letter that Hamilton had sent to her Uncle which noted her being in some danger. The Reverend Hamilton hopes that she has 'not suffered by the frights for I know you have weak nerves'. Moving on to his own daughter he describes her as handsome and of having many accomplishments though he wishes she also had more of Hamilton's 'steadiness'. Frederick Hamilton writes that he is to travel to Dublin shortly where he has taken a house for one year and intends to spend two or three months in his Living in the North. He complains that he as never required assistance from friends and that it is 'entirely to L[or]d Abercorn [a family member] that I am induced to this disagreeable security which I should by no means have yielded to were it not from the attention due on my part to my children'. Dated at Bath.
