Letter from Amabel Hume-Campbell to Jemima Mary Gregory: Describes a ball, at which Sir Gilbert Elliot suggested they danced the ‘Country Bumpkin’. The Cabinet Council meeting of Cuba is to assemble. Asks her opinion regarding Lord Polwarth’s request for her to take Anne Paterson [her husband’s niece, daughter of Sir John Paterson and Lady Anne Paterson] to London. Discusses the weather they have been experiencing; asks if Mr and Mrs Wray have been to visit; and if the Queen is suffering from ill health.
