Letters from Hugh Hume-Campbell (Lord Marchmont) and Elizabeth Hume Campbell, to son Alexander Hume-Campbell [on same sheet]. Sent from London to Gottingen. 'Your application to your studies gets you a great reputation here.'

5 Dec 1769

From: 1769 To: 1769

Elizabeth Hume-Campbell writes that it has been a fortnight since any letters from Alexander were received. Mr Gravenkop has been so ill that the writer has not seen him for 8 days. Mr Scott has been in bed since Friday with a fever. Young Mr Brody is going to Gottingen at last. Ned Barker is extremely happy at being appointed 5th mate in Captain Riddle's ship. Town is very empty, and will continue so until Parliament meets.
