  <dc:title>William Laing to James Beattie from Peterhead</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Waiting with impatience a sight of Beattie's letter to Blair. Refers to low imitation of a Beattie elegy in Scots Magazine, written at Peterhead, by a poor man whose wife had died. Laing could niether prevent them him publishing it, nor get him to make it more worthy of publication</dc:description>
