Description:
The letter is concerned with news on family and society. Frederick Hamilton is well but has been 'much affected' by the death of his relation, Mr Greville [Charles Francis Greville, Mineralogist, (1749-1809) Mary Hamilton's cousin]. Jane Holman would prefer it if he would live in London but he writes that he will not leave Bath although he does not like it there. He sees moving as being 'a serious operation'. The letter also relates to literature and society. Mary Hamilton had suggested that Jane Holman reads Miss Hamilton's Cottages of Glenburnie [Elizabeth Hamilton, author, (1756?-1816)], she has already reade her Memoirs of Modern Philosophers. Jane Holman believes that Elizabeth Hamilton is 'a relation through Scotland'. She also notes that she has translated into 'English blank verse' one of the tragedies of Count Alifieri [an Italian dramatist]. Jane Holman reports that she has not heard anything from Mrs Garrick [Eva Maria Garrick, n?e Veigel, dancer, (1724-1822), married the actor David Garrick] and has attended two concerts whilst in Bath, a private one and one in the Rooms where she heard Madame Catalani sing. She has been to see only one play since her return to London which was on the occasion of the actor Mr Lewis retiring from the theatre after thirty six years. She notes that he and his friends were 'much agitated'. The Covent Garden theatre is to open on the 11th September but reports that she does not know what is to be done about the building of the Drury Lane Theatre. The letter ends with a report from the newspapers of the defeat of Bonaparte at the banks of the Danube. Dated at 50 Mortimer Street, [London].
