Brief Summary:
A letter from Amabel Yorke to Mary Jemima Robinson, Baroness Grantham (1756-1830) dated 8 December 1776.
Detailed Summary:
Amabel thanks Mary for her entertaining letter and the concern she expressed about Amabel’s state of solitude. She mentions cats, then notes that the box of books arrived safely. Amabel then discusses works by Voltaire and comments on her embroidery efforts. She also mentions: weather, that Lord Polwarth is rides Mary’s horse often ‘& flatters himself it will answer to your satisfaction.’ Amabel ends by wishing that she could hear that her father was more free from complaints.
