Description:
Letter from Henry Hamilton to John Dickenson. Henry Hamilton asks if on occasions does Dickenson 'think of a certain old blade who vegetates at Bermuda. He is 9000 miles from fashion, amusement and 'rational conversation'. Henry Hamilton enjoys his correspondence with Dickenson, the information he provides and his anecdotes. Writing of Sir William Hamilton, [Mary Hamilton's uncle] he states that he assumes that Dickenson 'has been uncommonly amused no doubt with the extravagances of the Neopolitan Knight' and asks for information. He continues on his relations and declares that to his mind relations are fair game for laughing at.
