Content Description

She is sorry that it is unlikely they will see each other on this visit. She hopes to sail from Aberdeen as land travel is awkward with children. She sympathises on the loss of his two boys. Mrs. Hay sends her compliments, his conduct is such that he has made it clear he wants nothing to do with her, but her daughter is reduced to penury by a wasteful husband. She begs he visit an old acquaintance in need.
