| Description | Letter: Hon. Arhur Duff, Orton to Richard Wharton , Comptroller of Excise, Edinburgh. Reports on his present illness; probably too late now for his nephew to travel north to se him but sends love to all the family; tack had been received and had been duly executed and registered. [A note on the cover, which has been preserved, states that this was the last letter received by Richard Wharton from his uncle before the latter's death in on 26 April 1805]. |
