Description:
Letter from Wilhelmina King to Mary Hamilton, relating to the waters and society in Tunbridge Wells. King also reports on the gossip there, specifically that a Dr Wright has left his business and Tunbridge Wells to reportedly marry Mrs Gray, who was a Maid of Honour to the late Princess of Orange and sister of Sir James Gray. Her mother who had recently died aged almost 100 was against the match and now Mrs Gray, who is aged around 70 'was too dutiful to dispose of herself, but that obstacle being removed 'tis expected to take place very soon'.
