Brief Summary:
Autograph letter signed from Frances Anna Wallace Dunlop to Robert Burns, dated 25 June 1793.
Detailed Summary:
Dunlop apologises for how long it has been since she last wrote to Burns, and notes that the books he sent her have not arrived and that she does not know where to enquire about them. She discusses her recent deafness, notes that she has a copy of the new editions of his poems, and expresses her worry over her daughter Susan’s son because of the French Revolution. She informs Burns that she has been reading the correspondence between Voltaire and Frederick II of Prussia, as well as books by Dugald Stewart, noting that John Moore’s journal should arrive tomorrow.
