Letter from Louisa Murray, Lady Stormont, to Mary Hamilton. She is unable to provide Hamilton with a good account of her health as she has been confined again, although not for 'so good a cause as you' [i.e. Hamilton's pregnancy]. She has been suffering with a nervous complaint and hopes that she will benefit from some sea air and is going to spend a few days at Walmer Castle near Deal.
Stormont writes on Hamilton's pregnancy and advises that she keep herself 'quiet' suggesting that Hamilton had previously suffered a miscarriage. '[A]fter one accident one is always liable to another if one is not very cautious'.
