Description:
Letter from Lady Dartrey to Mary Hamilton, relating to the Royal family and of acquaintances. Dartrey has been ill with a cold but hopes to be well enough soon to be able to pay her 'Duty' to the Queen the following Thursday. She has bought a gown for the occasion and would be disappointed if she is unable to attend Court. Dartrey asks Hamilton's opinion on the Queen's notice 'of our son' [Dartrey's son, Thomas]. She was anxious about the meeting until she told herself that the 'same goodness which led her Majesty to send for him would make allowances for [...] [what] was wanting in his behaviour & manner'. Thomas has assured her that he had behaved as well as he could. Dartrey continues to describe the meeting and the pleasure such notice has given her.
Dartrey also writes on a gift that she had received from the Princess Royal and of a friend of her son's whose father was killed in battle and with news of friends including Miss Goldsworthy and Mr Glover.
