Summary: Copy of letter from Mary Delany to Mary Hamilton and copy of note from Mary Delany to Queen Charlotte.
    The first text, LWL Mss Vol. 75(22)(1), is a copy of a letter from Mary Delany to Mary Hamilton, in which Delany mentions submitting a flower to Hamilton's ‘sentence’, as well as noting that Hamilton just missed the Duchess Dowager of Portland on Sunday evening.
    Below is a copy of a note from Mary Delany, transcribed as LWL Mss Vol. 75(22)(2), for Hamilton to transmit to Queen Charlotte, presumably with the flower.

Editorial declaration: First edited 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, M^rs. or M^rs may occur, but M.^rs or M^r.s do not.
