July

July 6.
This day arrived from England the Buccleugh East Indiaman Capt. Wall; by this Ship, I had the satisfaction of receiving, letters from all my Friends at Home; one of them in particular, afforded me infinite pleasure; which, was that from my Uncle and Aunt Lochbuy; wherein, they jointly inform me, of their being made happy with the birth of a Son and Heir, to inherit the Ancient Name, titles and Estate of Maclaine of Lochbuy! —

The Dublin Indiaman Capt. Smith arriv'd at Bombay about this time, and I had the pleasure of seeing often my old Friends belonging to her while she remained.
