Description |
Congratulations on recipient's baronetcy; asks for financial assistance, 'of my sufferings and privations it may be enough to say that they have been such as would have been condemned or overdrawn in a fictitious tale of woe, and that at the moment of writing this, a family of four young children is earnestly gazing in my face, in expectation of food which I have no means to bestow'. Dated at Port Hopetoun, Edinburgh. |
