*Hamilton (Emma, 1765-1815). Autograph letter unsigned, '12 T P', postmarked 18 July 1814, to her admirer Colonel Sir Richard Puleston, staying at Duke's Hotel, Jermyn Street, a brief note stating that she cannot visit him but that he can visit her, 'I shall not be able for some days in the next week to go there so perhaps you will call on me some morning. God bless you', one page with autographed address leaf, postmark Unpaid stamp, seal tear with blank paper loss, a little dust-soiling, 8vo This letter was written while Lady Hamilton and her thirteen-year-old daughter were living at 12 Temple Place, a sponging house within the rules of the King's Bench. As Emma points out in the letter, she was allowed to receive visitors but not allowed out herself. She had been arrested five days earlier, on 13 July, and forced out of her Bond Street apartments. In the ensuing days her remaining worldly goods at Bond Street were all sold off by order of the Sheriff in order to pay her creditors: 'two of Nelson's sea chests, the remains of Hamilton's rare books, Horatia's doll's bed, a four-poster mahogany bed, a piano, her writing desk, dressing table, Grecian couch; all her glass and china; her valuables - her diamond watch, a gold box presented to Nelson in 1802; and even all her books and magazines' (Julie Peakman, Emma Hamilton, 2005, p. 159).
