"MY DEAR MOTHER, I have just arrived here, and as there is a friend of Mr Dauney's just about to set off for Aberdeen, I preferred letting you get a bit of a note or so to sending you a newspaper. Of course I have nothing to write you about but my own concerns.
The words chosen as the subject of the following verses, form the first line of an antiquated song, of which the remainder seems not to have been preserved. See Mr Dauney's "Ancient Scotish Melodies," p. 227. "Let never Cruelty dishonour Beauty" Be no such war between thy face and mind. Heaven with each blessing sends an answering duty: It made thee fair, and meant thee to be kind.
Of the Old Town I think far more than of the New, it is so majestic and magnificent, and am resolved, if I can, to live in it. "I dined at Mr Dauney's to-day. He has requested me to stay with him till I can get lodgings conveniently, but I expect to be stowed away to-morrow. I delivered Mr Innes's parcel; and remain, my dear mother, your most affectionate son, J. HILL BURTON.
