Date Created:
1789-01-06
Description:
The letter is concerned with news on family and acquaintances. Murray is happy to hear the Dickenson has found a 'remedy for his troublesome complaint' and hopes that the soap pills will prevent its return. The letter continues to describe the various illnesses of other relations, including her sister and Lord Mansfield. The letter makes reference to a 'publick calamity' and it being 'too dreadful a subject to dwell on' [she writes this in reply to a letter Hamilton had sent to her and which is not included in the archive so it is not clear of what she is referring to but it possibly relates to the King's health]. Murray notes that she is not discerning to understand the intricate politics but hopes as does Hamilton that it will be resolved for the good of all. The letter concludes with Murray's thanks to Hamilton for sending her a manuscript.
