Description:
The letter is concerned with Lady Catherine Hamilton's social obligations as the wife of an ambassador and of her dispute with Lady Maynard. The letter also refers to her coach accident and of Sir William organizing an anuity for the courier who had been injured in it. Lady Catherine Hamilton describes the society of Naples as 'wanting' and that she is obliged to attend the Queen at Court balls, and also writes of the British women visiting Naples, including Lady Maynard who she notes has given her much trouble. Lady Catherine Hamilton had refused to receive her when she called to her house and did not return her call and she refused to present Lady Maynard at Court because of her 'reputation'. Lord Maynard approached Sir William to ask if he supported his wife in her views and then in a violent temper noted that King George should recall his minister or loose his friendship. Lady Catherine Hamilton writes that Maynard's words had no effect on Sir William. Lady Catherine Hamilton continues her letter on this subject.
