Description:
Frederick Hamilton bitterly regrets not setting out for London when he first heard of his daughter's illness so that he could give comfort to her '& to have given her my parting embrace'. The letter continues on matters relating to her medical supervision and medical expenses. It also refers to Mr Holman and that he fears that he will not fail to 'show himself at the first opportunity by laying claim to Mrs Holman's property when she is no longer in his way'. A note written in John Dickenson's hand at the bottom of the letter states that he was surprised at the contents of this letter and that Mrs Holman had plenty of money. Dated at Bath.
