My compliments to Mrs. Tennant, and all the good folks in Glenconnel and Barguharrie. ELLISLAND, New-year-day Morning, 1789. This, dear Madam, is a morning of wishes, and would to God that I came under the Apostle James's description! the prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Sutherland, who is a man of apparent worth. On New-year-day evening I gave him the following prologue, which he spouted to his audience with applause: No song nor dance I bring from yon great city, etc. I can no more. If once I was clear of this curst farm, I should respire more at ease. CXLV. To MR. WILLIAM DUNBAR, W.S. ELLISLAND, 14th Jan. 1790.
If you continue so deaf, I am afraid a visit will be no great pleasure to either of us; but if I hear you are got so well again as to be able to relish conversation, look you to it, Madam, for I will make my threatenings good. I am to be at the New-year-day fair of Ayr, and, by all that is sacred in the world, friend, I will come and see you.
