| Description | Letter [to Miss Anne Gordon] from Alexander Geddes, London, reporting that he is settled in the Imperial Chapel and Mr Hay’s thunderballs can no longer hurt him, glad to hear she is to become a ‘Farmeress’, recommending to her sister Susan that she ‘keep a good bridle-hand over you when the Devil shall tempt you to run on too fast in projects of improvement, for that is a rock on which the greatest part of our gentle farmers are apt to split’, 11 June 1781 |
