Description:
The letter relates to general family news. Murray sends her thanks to Hamilton for a gift of chalk from her. Hamilton had been suffering from 'inflammation of... (her) eye' which Murray hopes has now improved. She hopes to hear some good news from their friends at Bulstrode, Duchess of Portland and Mrs Delany, and notes that Lord Mansfield and her father, Lord Stormont, are to visit there shortly and that Lord Mansfield is now at Kenwood and is in good health. Murray concludes her letter by informing Hamilton of the safe arrival of the plants at Kenwood.
