Description:
Letter from Frederick Hamilton to Mary Hamilton relating to finance, the economic distress of the country and returns from rent. Commenting on the King's remembrance of him, he writes that he is not flattered at such 'trivial enquiries' when he has been waiting for so long for 'a more substantial remembrance' in terms of preferment in the Church and writes that when one has reached the age of fifty it is 'time to be discouraged from the pursuit of favours that I had good reason to expect for these twenty years'. It is some consolation for him that he has acted as a man of honour despite all the broken promises. 'From the number of low & mean Persons in general That fill The bench of Bishops in This country it would seem That our Governor Thought The interests of Religion safer in the hands of schoolmasters and Tutors than in those men of birth & property'. He continues to advise his niece that a 'favour is hardly earned and too frequently thrown away'.
