Description:
|
The letter is addressed to Mrs Hamilton, Mary Hamilton's mother. The sheet contains manuscript annotations written by a member of the family noting that this letter was written around 1770. Lady Hamilton writes to ask about her sister-in-law's health. She notes that she and her husband had once talked of visiting Naples and Lady Hamilton wishes they would as they would find it beneficial to their health and notes that they live in so 'English a Stile that you need not fear any of the Italian ceremonies and nonsense with us'. She and her husband take part in Italian Assemblies as little as possible and in the Winter they are almost exclusively with the English and in Summer they are by themselves. Dated At Naples.
