Description:
Letter from Frederick Hamilton to Mary Hamilton. The letter expresses concern over Mary Hamilton's health and relates to Frederick Hamilton's living in Ireland. He had expectations of further advancement in the Church but this now seems unlikely and he is hoping to gain a living close to his estate in Dublin rather that the one he has which he describes as being situated at the 'farthest Northern part of Ireland' amongst Presbyterian Independents, of whom, given the chance, would emigrate to America. 'I must sooner resign determine to resign my Living than attend to what is call[e]d my duty among a set of people that have an unconquerable aversion to the established church'. Frederick Hamilton has made the decision to spend the remainder of his life in Ireland and in such expensive times, he acknowledges, that giving up such a living may not meet with approval by his friends.
