  <dc:title>To the Duchess of Gordon from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>May well peruse records of a hospital as read Beattie's letters, which contain nothing but wailings of a valetudinarian. Fears he will not soon be able to go to Gordon Castle. Lately called to Montrose because of Montagu's illness, but journey greatly disordered Beattie. Montagu is better and now home. Beattie missed Lord Huntly when he was in the town. Beattie sorry for Miss W. though he never saw her, and does not know what passed between her and Mr. Woodley. Beattie doubts that love was the problem, since there was no allusion to it in his raving letters. His mother assures Beattie that he is now well and will go to the West Indies with his father.</dc:description>
