Description:
The letter relates to Jane Holman's health and marriage. Joseph Holman is staying in Dublin having renewed his engagement at the theatre and does not wish his wife to come to the city to be with him. The reasons he gives seem so credible to Holman that she believes that the true reason is that he has another attachment there. She has suspected this for sometime. Reasons of economy was given by Joseph for her not travelling to the city. Frederick Hamilton offered to contribute to their income to enable them to live together and was turned down by her husband which confirms her suspicions. She is now looking for a 'moderate establishment' in London as the air in Bath does not agree with her. The letter continues on news of friends and family. Dated at London.
