A letter from Amabel Yorke to Mary Jemima Robinson, Baroness Grantham (1756-1830) dated 8 December 1776.
Detailed Summary:
Thanks her for her entertaining letter and concern expressed about state of solitude. Mentions cats. Box of books arrived safe. Discusses works by Voltaire, and embroidery ‘though I do not work ill, it goes on so slowly’. Also mentions: weather, that Lord Polwarth is rides Mary’s horse often ‘& flatters himself it will answer to your satisfaction.’ Wishes she could hear that Papa was more free from complaints.
