For this, or some other purpose, he had made the ‘course hand’ copies of Letters I and IV, which he endorsed just before his death, or perhaps he made them from the original, which he then destroyed or surreptitiously returned. When he was examined on August 11, the three preachers, Galloway, Hall, and Hewatt, and the minister of Duddingston, Mr. Lumisden, were present.
Young Gask repeats the same melancholy tale. Charles was hopeless. 'Old Mr. 'A fairy Prince with happy eyes And lighter-footed than the fox. James expired 'without the least convulsion or agony, says Lumisden, 'but with his usual mild serenity in his countenance. . . . He seemed rather to be asleep than dead. A proscribed exile from his cradle, James was true to faith and honour.
Even Lumisden he was to drive from him; he could keep nobody about him but the unwearied Stuart, a servant of his own name. The play was played out; honour and all was lost. There is, unhappily, no escape from this conclusion. Charles declined to listen to the deputation headed by Cluny in August 1755. A secretary must have penned his reply; it is well- spelled, and is grammatical.
His passion must still greatly cool before any application can be made to him in your behalf. A report was circulated that Charles was secretly married to Miss Walkinshaw. On February 16, 1767, Lumisden wrote to Waters on 'the dismal consequences of such a rumour, and, by the Duke of York's desire, bade Waters obtain a denial from the lady.
Dundee was a town well fortified, supplied with a good garrison under Lumisden, and full of all the rich furniture, the plate and money of the kingdom, which had been sent thither as to a place of safety. Monk appeared before it; and having made a breach, gave a general assault.
Mr Lumisden has written an account of the three battles in 1745-6, at once accurate and classical. Talking of the different Highland corps, the gentlemen who were present wished to have his opinion which were the best soldiers. He said, he did not like comparisons among those corps: they were all best.
But neither time, nor despair, nor Charles's own fallen self could kill the loyalty of Scotland. Bishop Forbes, far away, heard of his crowning folly, and blamed Lumisden and his companion, Hay of Restalrig! When Charles, on Good Friday, 1772, married Louise of Stolberg, the remnant of the faithful in Scotland drank to 'the fairest Fair, and to an heir of the Crown.
