_The Lord Justice Clerk to Walter Grossett_
(_Holograph but not signed_)
Ed. 23 Dec^r 1745.
DEAR SIR,--I re^d yours about 7 at night, and you have done
Exceeding well, if you bring up the Rear right I think you should
Command those that command you now. I have no notion of shipping
any Horses, they are in no danger, the men may be landed at
Northberwick Dumbar or Heymouth[636] as the wind serves, or even
at Holy Island if they cannot land Sooner wt Safety, but yt is
only my private opinion, the ordor of y^e proper Officers is the
Rule.
The Shipping was chiefly designed for the Baggage seek and weak,
and the Ships may be employed to bring Oats etc. for G. Wades
Armye.
