      Dear Mrs. Dickenson,

      My Sister & I are much
obliged to you for your
kind remembrance of us
in sending us the pattern
of your gown, & for having
been so good as to take
the trouble of doing so
large a piece which was
quite beyond our expectations.
I had intended thanking you
in person this morning but
from various mistakes
have been prevented from
getting out, shall hope for
another opportunity --
                             I am Dear Mrs Dickenson
                             your obedient Servant
                                                         Henrietta Warwick
Albemarle Street
Monday.

Transliteration Information

Editorial declaration: First edited in the project 'Image to Text' (David Denison & Nuria Yáñez-Bouza, 2013-2019), now incorporated in the project 'Unlocking the Mary Hamilton Papers' (Hannah Barker, Sophie Coulombeau, David Denison, Tino Oudesluijs, Cassandra Ulph, Christine Wallis & Nuria Yáñez-Bouza, 2019-2023).

All quotation marks are retained in the text and are represented by appropriate Unicode characters. Words split across two lines may have a hyphen on the first, the second or both fragments (reco-|ver, imperfect|-ly, satisfacti-|-on); or a double hyphen (pur=|port, dan|=ger, qua=|=litys); or none (respect|ing). Any point in abbreviations with superscripted letter(s) is placed last, regardless of relative left-right orientation in the original. Thus, Mrs. or Mrs may occur, but M.rs or Mr.s do not.
