Dear Mr. Clark,

I have at last issued
the Index to the Lion in Mourning from
my father's hands where it has lain
ever since you returned it to us.
Mr Chambers desires me to say
that he will have much pleasured
in presenting the Index to the Library
of the Faculty of Advocates, and being
thereby enabled to make more com-
plete the original M.S. presented to
the Library by his father Dr. Robert
Chambers thirteen years ago. You may 4 2
therefore submit the matter to the
Curators whenever you choose.

The Index is in the handwriting of
the late Sir Henry Steuart of Allanton
Bant. and was given by him to my
grandfather together with a large
collection of other Jacobite Papers.

Very truly yours
C. Chambers

P.S.
Have you seen my new edition of
Robert Chamber's Poems + Songs?
