  <dc:title>William Laing to James Beattie from Peterhead</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Glad to hear Beattie's health better. Refers to happy event i the family [the birth of the Glennie's first child, Jean, on 5 October 1798]. Pleasure of seeing Mrs Glennie recover from long illness, and having her fine little daughter in her arms. Refers to Dun's death [on 16 November 1798], and how improperly and unjustly he has disposed of property. Laing tries to think generously, and say it was effect of old age and flatterers.</dc:description>
