  <dc:title>To Mrs Valentine at Montrose, from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>While he will be very happy to see James, the distress and disorder in his family is so great that he cannot give him the reception he would wish: 'Our afflictions are indeed great; and there is no appearance of any change to the better.' In addition, Beattie's own health has been bad all winter.
