M'Lehose, Agnes, 1759-1841. Letter, 1788 Tuesday forenoon [5 February] to Sylvander Burns, St. James Square.

Title: Letter, 1788 Tuesday forenoon [5 February] to Sylvander Burns, St. James Square.

Unpublished love letter from "Clarinda" to "Sylvander," written in the third person but signed "Clarinda." In the first months of 1788, Burns and Clarinda wrote to each other frequently, sometimes more than once a day. The published editions of their correspondence make clear that some letters had gone missing or had been omitted. In this newly-recovered letter, Clarinda writes, "... I feel a sensation so delightfull, so serene, as makes me almost hope that Heaven itself approves our union." This letter had briefly surfaced in 1928 (see Glasgow Herald, March 31, 1928; Burns Chronicle, 2nd ser. IV, 1929), and then was lost again from scholarly awarness for nearly 80 years.
