  <dc:title>To William Laing from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Regarding plan to go to Peterhead for part of this summer, several mistakes made. Beattie deficient in many of faculties, and hardly able to manage affairs. Dilly, who is fond of illastrating books with cuts, is printing new edition of The Minstrell and James Hay Beattie's poetical things. He has got James Hay beatti'e head well engraved by Heath. 'Your Beattie' [Laing's daughter] recognised it at once. Will send copies to Laing and Mr Scot.</dc:description>
