To B.Bishop G.Gordon Feb.February 26. 1767.
I hope
you have received mine of the
23. instant by Post. The One hin-
ted at therein, is Mrs Anne Ca-
meron, Daughter of Colonel Ca-
meron, who died at R.Rome in the
Family of ——, &and whose Re-
lict &and two Daughters had a Pen-
sion assigned them. Upon the
Death of the Mother, it was con-
tinued to the Daughters, one of
whom dying it was continued to
the surviving One, who, upon a late
Event, went to my Favorite Lady,
who &and her Sister received her
most kindly, conversed with her
in an easy &and friendly Way, &and re-
newed the Grant of the pension to
her. Whether or not her Prattles
should, be^madeknown to my Favourite
Lady by Friend W——[agstaf]fe, I know not, 1899 (1899)
not, but you know well; ergo,
tumet esto Judex. I think, it
is very unwise in her, Papa-
gee1 as she is, to talk in such a
Way, all Things considered. I
will be glad to have something
to say upon the Point, &and you shall
never be seen or heard of in the
Matter; but I will contradict bold-
ly, if you clear up the Affair to
me, which I am persuaded you
will do to Satisfaction.
