Summary: Three notes from Charlotte Gunning to Mary Hamilton. In the first note (HAM/1/15/1/26(1)), dated 2 April 1788, Gunning writes that she will not go to Mrs Montagu's that night, as she is to attend her brother's ball (see HAM/1/15/1/25), but can meet Hamilton the following day. She also writes on the subject of clothes.
    The second note (HAM/1/15/1/26(3)), dated 11 April 1788, relates to the death of Lady Carlisle's daughter.
    The third note (HAM/1/15/1/26(2)), dated 9 April 1788, expresses regret for Hamilton's absence at dinner because of her daughter's illness.
    Original reference No. 27.

Transliteration Information

Editorial declaration: First edited in the project 'Image to Text' (David Denison & Nuria Yáñez-Bouza, 2013-2019), now incorporated in the project 'Unlocking the Mary Hamilton Papers' (Hannah Barker, Sophie Coulombeau, David Denison, Tino Oudesluijs, Cassandra Ulph, Christine Wallis & Nuria Yáñez-Bouza, 2019-2023).

All quotation marks are retained in the text and are represented by appropriate Unicode characters. Words split across two lines may have a hyphen on the first, the second or both fragments (reco-|ver, imperfect|-ly, satisfacti-|-on); or a double hyphen (pur=|port, dan|=ger, qua=|=litys); or none (respect|ing). Any point in abbreviations with superscripted letter(s) is placed last, regardless of relative left-right orientation in the original. Thus, Mrs. or Mrs may occur, but M.rs or Mr.s do not.
