AddresseeDelany, Mary
Description'Without appearing imprudent towards Mrs Delany, and indiscreet to her Friends who wish to preserve her as her exellent qualities well deserve, I cannot have the pleasure of enjoying her company this Winter with which our amiable Friend the Dutchess Dowager of Portland has so frequently and politely indulged me with during the Summer. I must therefore desire that Mrs Delany will wear this little Pocket Book in order to remember at times, when no dearer Person's are present, a very sincere well wisher, Friend, and affectionate Queen'.
