| Description | Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from Professor William Robertson Smith, Aberdeen, informing him that (as he will have seen from the papers) he is not going to be free for at least another month, 'I must set to as hard as I can to get out a popular and at the same time scientific defence of my critical views', he is sorry that he therefore will not be able to visit friends at Montrose, 15 March 1878 |
