Description:
Letter from Henry Hamilton to Mary Hamilton. The letter relates to his admiration of Mary Hamilton and her husband, about his family and his views on life. He begins his letter by noting what a strange woman Mary Hamilton is. She has flattered him and he writes that when he knew her a little he liked her a little and 'when he had a better acquaintance, I thought of you as your husband'. He can tell that John Dickenson is in love with his wife and notes that he is a little so himself.
