I am sorry, I miss’dmissed seeing You on Friday 1651 (1651)
Friday last at your own Shop, when I in-
tended to converse with you upon the Sub-
ject of this Letter, which will be deliver-
ed to you by that remarkable Man, Do-
nald Cameron of Glenpean, the personal
Conductor of the Pr—Prince through the Chain
of Camps, &and consequently (with great
Truth it may be said) through his great-
est Dangers. I should be sorry, if this
Worthy should be allowed to go out of
EdrEdinburgh without some small Acknowledgement
of his Merit, which is not the less by his
being a most modest, disinterested Per-
son; for when I made an Offer of some
small Present to him; I behoved to press
it upon him, before he would accept
of it. Besides, he is engaged in a
just &and well-founded Plea before the
Lords against some of the Campbells;
which, I am afraid, may turn out to his
Loss, as it serves to empty his light
Purse without any great View of Reim-
bursement. This Hint, I am persuaded,
is Sufficient to prevail upon You to try
your Interest with Friends in EdrEdinburgh,
in Behalf of this truly heroic Man;
&and did I not imagine, that hereby I
afford you a Pleasure, I assure you, I
should not have given you the Trouble
of this. He brings along with him a Voucher, 1652 (1652)
+Voucher, who knows him personally, &and
whole Assertion in this Matter you may
rely upon.

After making a proper Use of this,
pray, commit it to the Flames, and
thereby oblige,
