Letter Description

Summary: Note from Martha Carolina Goldsworthy to Mary Hamilton. She informs Hamilton that the Queen and the princesses are to dine at 2 o'clock so if Hamilton comes to dine at ‘that hour you will be in very good time’. Goldsworthy has ordered the coach to be ready at the same time for the Princess Royal as the Prince of Wales as the Queen desires it and she instructs Hamilton not to come here that morning on any account as Miss Planta is working her hours for her still.

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.
