  <dc:title>James Mercer to James Beattie from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanks Beattie for elegant Ode. Reading Dissertations with avidity and high entertainment. The wise Scotstown [George Moir?] complains he has only found one exceptionable sentence. Hopes Beattie has got over rheumatism and fetter'd leg etc. in ode are poetical ornaments. People of Aberdeen attribute strange weather to Copland's experiments at the Observatory</dc:description>
