Description:
|
Letter from Anna Maria Clarke who reminds Hamilton that she desired her to write to her. She does so but notes that she has nothing 'agreeable to relate nothing worthy of Miranda's attentions'. Clarke then writes of drawings, of wishing to attend a lecture and having been to two concerts of which she does not 'greatly recommend'. One was the Messiah which was performed at the Cathedral. She imagines that this 'sublime composition' has not been 'heard in perfection since Handel conducted the Band'. She continues to write of music and of the society that she has been engaged in and of mutual acquaintances including a Dr W (Walton) whom she finds to be a very agreeable companion.
