Description |
Dated at Invereray.
'We are once more a quiet place as to all military stir, but our old goodman keeps us in action with his stone and lime work as our great house is going on with all the despatch which the season admitts, so that a week or two more of such weather as we now have will bring the utter wall to the height of five feet all round beside a good part of the drain ... I am sorry that I have reason to add that a pretty strong interest used for poor Pattie Achachalladar is like to be unsuccessful, many great officers in the army having got it strongly in their head that the story of the poison is true'. |
