Mrs Montagu : Letter dated 13 June

'I am very curious to see Mrs Montagu's catalogue of duties: so take care that you do not light your pipe with the letter. I have heard from the "noble Lady" again, and written again - She will surely be satisfied that there is no worm of disappointment preying on my damask cheek; for I have told her in luminous EngLIsh that my heart is not in England but in Annandale!'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Jane Baillie Welsh      Manuscript: Letter
