Summary:
Encourages Smith to extend his visit to them. Fears current bad weather will spoil the corn remaining in the fields and add to the other agricultural distresses; reports of similar situations in Newcastle and Berwickshire; although not superstitious almost thinks "a mark was set this devoted country, from the illconduct of the person who is at the head of it" [presumably George IV (1762-1830), Prince Regent for George III from 1811-1820]. Upset to see accounts of sale of [William] Roscoe's library, having hoped his affairs were not so bad.
