If Paris brought me what I asked him, I should be soon cured.

If you have not yet returned when I go you know where, write to me, I beg you, and tell me what you wish me to do; for if you do not manage things prudently, I foresee that the whole burden will fall on me: look into everything and weigh the affair maturely.

I send you my letter by Beaton, who will set out the day which has been assigned to Balfour.

It only remains for me to beg you to inform me of your journey.
"Glasgow, this Saturday morning." THIRD LETTER.
"I stayed you know where longer than I should have done, if it had not been to get from him something that the bearer of these presents will tell you it was a good opportunity for covering up our designs: I have promised him to bring the person you know to-morrow.

Look after the rest, if you think fit.
