Description:
Frederick Hamilton thanks John Dickenson for paying his son's debts and asks for instructions on where to pay the money back. The letter notes that two dogs have been sent to his house from Taxal and he has no idea why. His son has attempted to sell them but as yet had no success. Frederick Hamilton has persuaded his son Robert Hamilton to write to the servant he so 'imprudently engaged' [probably in Taxal] to stop him coming to London and has received a letter from him full of his disappointment. He, with some difficulty, has persuaded his son to tell him the true amount of his debts which 'do not exceed one hundred and thirty pounds'. Over sixty pounds of which was for telescopes and air pumps. Frederick notes that this is the last time that he will pay his son's debts and Robert in future will have to take the consequences for his own actions. He will make him an allowance of ?300 per annum and Robert promises to break off all connection with Risman(?) and he has expressed his interest in returning to Kiel, Germany, which may be beneficial as there are no English there and his money would go further'. Dated at Portman Square.
