London Sept^r. 29^th 1775

Dear Sir

I received the two parcels here & am much obliged to you for Dalrymple. I see still that my only mistake was giving the name of Elizabeth to Robert’s mistress. The surname was still more or morham. & nothing Dalrymple advances will save L^d Bute’s ancestor from being the Son of a Wh—.

I miss moyse’s memoirs in the parcel. Pray describe to me the front of the new episcopal chapel at Edinburgh. are there Pillars or Pilasters in front? if the first I suppose them insulated & form a Portico. is there an organ; painting above altar & what subject?

Pray is the account of the clans by Buchanan esteemed among you quite authentic?

I rejoice that M^r Shaws book is so near its appearance.

I stay here only a few days, being brought here in attending my children to school after their holydays. inclose as usual.

I am
Dear Sir
