| Description | Letter from Jessie Barclay, Calcots, near Elgin, to Emma Barclay, her sister-in-law, Golden Square, Aberdeen, regarding some merino made up to be stamped, asking for braid for it but unwilling to cause Emma trouble when she is nursing her father, unfair that all the burden should fall on Emma, who has always done more than her duty, her trip to the seaside and bathing, helping a Mrs Farcé who is trying after an illness to set up as a singing teacher in Elgin, thanking her for the breadknife, 30 August 1832 |
