I have an indisputable voucher for the singular practice of burning bibles and prayer books in Murray-shire. Pray let me know if any such violation of all that is sacred was done in your neighbourhood. I could wish likewise to have an exact account of the plundering and pillaging of your house, and of any other outrages that were committed within your bounds (Paton vol. 2, 177)
