Letter from Elizabeth Hume-Campbell (Lady Marchmont) to son Alexander Hume-Campbell, Lord Polwarth. Will send the buckles and tooth powder as requested. 'I know the Mr Peachy you mention, he is an only son; when he was at the college in Edinburgh his great ambition was to be able to drink two bottles of claret. I leave you to judge of the degree of his understanding, but I hope it has improved by this time.'

'My account last week of the Duke of Richmond was not true, his grace being ill and not able to go to the House, so everything passed very quietly and the House rose before five o'clock. The Queen was that evening brought to bed of a Princess.' [Princess Augusta Sophia] Writer's parents intend to leave Sheen next week. Mr Burnett has arrived at Plymouth from Newfoundland.
