_Carlisle Castle, September 28th, 1746._
[Sidenote: _fol._ 78.] _P.S._--I wrote you and Mr. Moir a joint letter
about ten days agoe.
COPY of a LETTER to MR. JOHN MOIR, Merchant in Edinburgh.
[Sidenote: 1746 17 Oct.]
My Dear Sir,--I received yours yesterday of the 11th current, and as
I am to die to-morrow this is my last Farewel to you. May God reward
you for your services to me from time to time, and may God restore
my dear Prince, and receive my soul at the hour of my death. You'll
manage what money Mr. Stewart is due me as you see proper, for my
poor wife will want money much to pay her rents and other debts.
I have given Mr. Wright fourteen pounds sterling and half a dozen
shirts, in order to be sent my poor wife by Mr. Graham at Multrees of
Hill. I have wrote just now to Mr. Graham, and sent letters inclosed
to my poor wife and my brother. My [Sidenote: _fol._ 79.] dear Sir,
manage Mr. Stewart's money as you best advise, and fail not to write
to my wife of same. I conclude with my blessing to yourself and to
all the honourable honest ladies of my acquaintance in Edinburgh,
and to all other friends in general, and in particular those in
the Castle. And I am, with love and affection, My dear Sir, yours
affectionately till death, and wishes we meet in Heaven.
