Transcription

Hatton was supposed to travel to London with his nephew, but a delay forced them to stay home. He thanks Sloane for all of his help regarding his brother’s illness. Christopher Hatton is doing better, though he was purged too often. Charles Hatton was the son of Christopher Hatton, 1st Baron Hatton and brother of Christopher Hatton, 1st Viscount Hatton [Sir Bernard Burke, C.B.
