Letter from Elizabeth Hume-Campbell (Lady Marchmont) to her son Alexander Hume-Campbell, Lord Polwarth. Hope Alexander had found a new lodging, as 'unless the weather is greatly mended, a tent will be rather uncomfortable.'

30 Apr 1770

From: 1770 To: 1770

The Westminster election was over in an hour or two, with Sir Richard Bernard chosen without opposition. A long day is expected in both Houses of Parliament tomorrow; it is presumed 'upon the Boston affair.' Death of Lord Ligonier [John Ligonier, 1st Earl Ligonier]. Mrs [Agneta] Yorke with Miss Halsey have gone to spend the summer at Tyttenhanger. Walter Scott's brother has returned from the East Indias; he is thirteen years younger than Walter, but looks twenty years older after seventeen years in a hot climate.
