Thanking him for his letter, which "carries me back to my own braes, which I love so dearly, out of this place of bustle and politics." Concerning personal matters in Scotland: mentioning the sale of sheep and giving instructions concerning a forest boundary, painting a ceiling, etc.; musing that the weather is probably to dry for planting; hoping to arrive at Edinburgh by the end of the month.
