Illustrates Burns' relationships with Robert Ainslie, Dr. Blacklock, Lord Glencairn, and John Miers. Burns recommends the profile painter John Miers to Ainslie. "Mr. Miers, profile painter in your town, has executed a profile of Dr. Blacklock for me. Do me the favor to call for it, and sit to him yourself for me which put in the same size as the Doctor's ... I propose hanging Lord Glencairn, the Dr. & you, in trio, over my new chimney-piece that is to be." The "chimney-piece" is a reference to Burns establishing his home with Jean Armour.
