  <dc:title>Letter from James Hay Beattie to James Beattie</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Letter from James Hay Beattie, Peterhead, Saturday evening at 10 o'clock, to James Beattie, Schoolhill, Aberdeen, relating to Dr Morgan's health; mentioning the Divine; asking if his father is going to Peterhead and mentioning the arrival of Miss Valentine and Montagu from Montrose.  Letter talks about James Hay's activities in Peterhead, mentioning his good health, and talks about ?Tytler [possibly William Tytler (1711 – 1792), lawyer and historian or Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee (1747 – 1813), historian].  James Hay writes about an 'Unitarian Catechism' and mentions Priestly.  Letter talks about Dr Dun's rheumatism and James Hay offers some solutions, and talks about how anxious James Hay is in seeing James Beattie.

MS 30/26/5 - 7 appear to have been written in the same week.  Not all are dated, but references to the death of Dr Morgan place them in the year 1788.</dc:description>
