I cannot let this day pass without saluting you and good Mrs. Gordon, as hereby I do in my own name, and in that of my Rachel, not forgetting the worthy grandmother of Burnhall. May all of you live to enjoy the delight of your hearts and the joy of your eyes, with large amends of the distressful times (Paton V.3, 344-345).

You have inclosed for Captain Farquharson somewhat intended for the entertainment of the amiable pair. The two first are copies of what were lost by sea. The third is a poor essay on the day, and speaks for itself (Paton V.3, 345).
