Letter Description

Summary: Note from Juliane Elisabeth Schwellenberg [Keeper of the Robes to Queen Charlotte] to Mary Hamilton, stating that she finds it very satisfactory that 'you fully comprehend me' and signing herself a 'sincere and affect[ionate] friend'.
    On the other side of the sheet is a note of the same date from Hamilton to Mrs Hagedorn, transcribed as HAM/1/7/13/5(2). It is not clear how the notes are related, especially as HAM/1/1/1/10, also of the same date, contains a request from Schwellenberg, not Hagedorn, for a picture of Hamilton's.
