Dear Sir
Your polite answer through Mr Paton demands my immediate thanks.1 I have said much of yr place, & am engraving a plan taken by a scavant who wishes to be nameless you will find it in a volume I trust you will accept when published.2
The point I wish information about relates to the account given by Maitland in his history of Scotland I. p.199 of a Hypocaust & other antiquities found at Delvin. If any be so good as to confirm & particularise them. a line addressed to me no 11 vere street oxford Chapel will find me in London for a month to come.
I shall be extremely happy to be of any use to you there being with much esteem
Be so kind as to give me the name of the Ferry over the Tay, where I had the mortification of leaving you so wet.
