Description:
From Elizabeth Vesey to Mrs Jackson and Miss Clarke [friends of Hamilton who lived with her for a time in Clarges Street]. The letter relates to general news. Vesey wishes to awaken in both Jackson's and Clarke's memory 'the pleasure at the beloved cottage' and notes that the 'malicious Thief time is always pilfering something & if I let you alone any longer the idea of the Vesey's wou[l]d soon fade'. Vesey looks forward to hearing from them and asks them to write something about Mrs Jackson's 'charming Miranda'. She notes that the night before there was a storm with strong winds and that a man's body was 'seen carried along by the turret under our window'.
