Tuesday! — The St. Vincent and
Fame Indiamen arrived here from England – which they left on the
31st. of March last. — I had not the happiness
of hearing from my beloved Elizabeth by this opportunity; but I have
received a Letter from my Brother Charles dated the 24th. of February from Mull, where he then was on a
Visit, and which gives me most pleasing accounts of himself and the rest
of my Family and friends at Home.
Augt. 31.
Sunday! — I this day received by way of Madras a Letter of a very
old date (–5th. June 1805–) from
my dearest Miss Campbell – forwarded by her friend Doctr. Jas. Macdonald – a bad
Post! —
