Scope and Content

From H[ester] Egerton, Samuel Egerton's sister, to Samuel who is staying near Enfield [Middlesex], apparently with Lord and Lady Stamford [probably Harry, the 4th Earl and his wife, May]; she sends news of family and friends in Cheshire, and refers to a man she calls simply "Dr B--e", regarding whom she vows not to set her heart on anything "of that sort", so she can bear disappointment more easily.
