Letter from Elizabeth Hume-Campbell (Lady Marchmont) to her son Alexander Hume-Campbell, Lord Polwarth. The late day in the House of Lords and the change of weather did not agree with Lord Polwarth; he has no particular complaint, but is always tired.

12 Feb 1770

From: 1770 To: 1770

Dr Fordyce has not yet got a wig, tho' I think he must, for his bald head has not half enough dignity.' Mention of Sandy [Alexander] Don, who is pursuing his studies '..but how closely, I cannot say. I should think that he is more calculated for a good natured agreeable neighbour than a scholar.' News of acquaintances: Captain Wood died, Miss Blagmire has married, Miss Wingfield is not yet married. Admiral [Francis] Holburne has been appointed a Lord of the Admiralty.
