Burney, Fanny, 1752-1840. Autograph letter signed from Fanny Burney to Mary Hamilton, Norbury Park, 1784 July 10.

Title: Autograph letter signed from Fanny Burney to Mary Hamilton, Norbury Park, 1784 July 10.

Fanny Burney refers to her visit with Mary Hamilton in London and mentions "...the uneasiness which dampt all my pleasure even in the charming party at Hampton. I hope when she [Mary] hears that the fatal termination of that suspense, made me wish for nothing but to hasten into the country to recruuit both my health & spirits..." This was, perhaps, referring to a disappointment in love, when the ambiguous attentions of a young clergyman came to nothing. In a postscript she mentions "a string of the most uncomfortable circumstances" and asks to be remembered to Mrs. Vesey and Mr. and Mrs. Pepys.
