Cameron of Glenpean
.

Dear Sir,
I am sorry, I had not the Fa-vour1657(1657)
vour of seeing you once more before your
going from Edinburgh, especially as I
have in my Hands a Guinea &and anone Half
for your Use, which you may command
when you please. I had the Guinea
from Carnwrath &and the Half-Guinea
from My Lady Bruce. If you desire
any Person to call for the Cash, pray,
fail not to send me a Letter un-
der
your own Hand with that per-
son
.
I am glad, it is in my power to
assure you with great Truth, that Carn-
wrath
has spoke earnestly to his Bro-
ther
upon your Account, &and that No-
thing
will be omitted to make out
your process to your own Heart’s
Content, which I pray God to bring
about.
Make my respectful Compliments
acceptable to the worthy Glenalladale
&and his Family.
To You &and all yoursmudged Concerns I heartily
wish all Things good &and happy, &and []
most Sincerely am,
My Dear Donald,
Your firm Friend, &and
humble Servant,
Robert Forbes.
