Mr Oli-
phant of Gask &and his Lady are now here in
their way to London, intending for Seville,
Lisbon, or &andc. as Mrs Oliphant has an ob-
stinate Cough; for which Physicians have
prescribed some warmer Climate during the
Winter-Season. They are to call at Burn-
hall1996(1996)
hall, to have the Pleasure of seeing
You &and other Friends under that hospi-
table Roof, resolving to set out from
this City to-morrowtomorrow. May God be ever
with them.

A Singular Opinion has all at once start-
ed up in my Mind, which I must impart
to you. If ever the amiable Youth in-
tends a Trip abroad, can he have
better Company than this valuable
Pair? As good is rarely to be met
with in this Age of boasted Light
&and Liberty! Besides, this Gentleman
&and his Lady know throughout the exact
Rules of OeconomyEconomy, particularly in
travelling, well-tried Experience
having been their Instructor.

If this Flight be a Trifle, let it
pass as such; but, if it merits a
place in your Attention, communi-
cate it to the worthy Grandmo-
ther &and Mrs Gordoun, &and let a Coun-
cil be held upon the Subject.
Whatever be the Result, I can de-
clare, my intention is good in all
Respects whatsoever.
