Letter from Elizabeth Hume-Campbell (Lady Marchmont) to son Alexander Hume-Campbell, Lord Polwarth. 'In answer to your question about your Grandpapa's face, Mr Fordyce thinks it is a very bad thing, and of the cancer kind, but says there is no immediate danger, and he can only endeavour to prevent it spreading further. My Father does not at present suffer much pain with it, but God knows what it may come to.'
