RecipientHatchett [née Collick]; Elizabeth Martha (1756-1837); British

DescriptionShe asks if Mrs Hatchett could come just two days before they will dine with the Hatchetts, as if they do not catch Mr [Francis] Chantrey before the [Royal] Academy dinner they will not catch him at all. She also has one of her sisters, Miss Graham, visiting for a couple of days and Maria wishes her to enjoy pleasant society, therefore the Hatchetts might come to dine on Monday 26th. She hopes Mrs Hatchett's grandson continues to improve.
