Description:
|
Frederick Hamilton writes of the death of Lady Ann Greville who had been 'siez[e]d by an inflammation of the lungs'. She leaves a will befitting her 'spirited' character. The will leaves a sum of ?500 and all her clothes to her maid who has been with her almost ten years. Lord Warwick is to gain ?500 per annum by Lady Anne's death and 'all the demands upon him on her account are now cancell[e]d'. Lady Ann is to be buried at Warwick Castle. The letter also updates Mary Hamilton on their accounts, specifically a bond, and on his son, who has now returned from Geneva. Dated St James's Street.
