Lady Mary's husband was appointed ambassador to the Porte in 1716, and she accompanied him to Constantinople. During her sojourn in Turkey the author recorded her observations and experiences in a journal which provided material for her letters which she composed a few years later after her return to England. These are not actual letters but provide the substance of her life abroad and her opinions on Turkish life and customs.
