My intention was not to write to you
till I should be at Rome; but my Wishes
happened to be crowned with Success
nearer hand. We went to Florence from
this Place on the 18th of last Month,
&and arrived the same Night. The next
Morning I was told Prince Jarlagh
was in Town. I made an impatient
Ramble, till I found out, that he
had a Servant, who proved to be a rank
Highlander, John Stewart of the
Family of ArdvorlickArdvolich. He has been
with his Royal Master ever Since
the Year 1745. He is the upper
Domestickdomestic. We were happy to
meet each other. I asked, if it was
possible I could say in my own Country I
had spoken to his Master. He replied,
there was no Difficulty, &and desired me
to come next Morning, the 22d, &and I
should obtain my Request. Accordingly,

2130 (30302130)
I came at 9 o’Clock, time enough
to breakfast with Mr Stewart, before
Prince Jarlagh could be seen, which was
11. when Mr Stewart called me upStairs,
&and introduced me into his Dressing
Room; where, Seeing him before
me, I kneel’dkneeled down. He kindly gave
me his Right Hand, which I did
myself the Honour to kiss, Saying,
“it was the Loyalty of my Parents
“to his Royal Family, that embold-
“ened me to presume this Attempt.”

He asked me, what Family I was
of. I answered, “of the House of
“Glenbucky, that the late Alexan-
der was a near Relation to me.”

“Ah! poor Man! Said he, I remem-
ber him perfectly well.” He Spoke
a few Words more, in which he
Said, “My Lad I wish you well,” &and
then retired: He looks rather old
in Complexion, &and is pretty Stout
in Person. He keeps a constant
grand Equipage, especially when
at Rome. He is still at FlorinceFlorence
but is expected at Pisa in a Month’s
Time.”
