Description:
The letter relates to the reasons Jane Holman gives for leaving Bath and her father's house for London. The air in Bath does not agree with Jane Holman and the 'affliction' she has suffered through the separation from her husband has made her require 'more diversion of mind, by moving in the world, than I ever cared for, before'. Her father's mode of living does not suit Jane Holman. He does not attend parties of an evening and other than morning visitor's does not have 'a creature in his own house'. He retires before eleven o'clock and so she would disturb him when she returns from entertainments as 'even at Bath, nothing is over, sooner than that'. She has discussed this with her father who agrees that the differences in their ages, may prevent their living in 'accord'. She continues that a more important reason for her moving from Bath is that he [her husband] 'would think himself justified in supposing that I wanted for nothing, and I should probably not receive a sixpence from him'. Jane Holman thanks Hamilton for her advice and for her friendship. Dated at 35 Aldgate High Street, [London].
