Letter from Maggie Gray to Robert Laws Letter from Maggie Gray, Mrs. Burrell's, 60, High Street, Galashiels, to Robert Laws, thanking him for his long letter and prescription; she has found that rubbing the chilblains with milk cools them; asking about his exam; Mr. Anderson's slow recovery; his public letter concerning his work at the hospital; her search through the papers in the reading room for the letter; thankful that he received the Archer Bursary as his expenses have been so great; her lodgings are expensive but that is always one's greatest expense; her mother asking after him; Bella and Amy to go to Aberdeen soon; her grandfather not well in the cold weather, likewise his grandmother; harmonium and violin music she can hear while writing; stormy weather; dancing with her pupils at lunchtime to give them exercise indoors in snowy weather; Mary sending her love to him. 11 December 1874
