DEAR Sun,—I write is to let you
know that I am in th. Ian' o' the
leevin' an' they place howp, an'
wussin that you, an' a' y 1 tr frien's are
the same. 1 beg leeve speer if you
will put in neither ter free me,
which will be a gre obleegement,
mair espaishalJy this v y wat waither,
which is yer a crushin taea chap's
.spoerits. The last tim . I wrote my
dear moister *was very angry at me
for daein' sae; tho' beloved mis-
tress leeched eherser intae extairics,
;olio was a peaty in ed, for she is
booky, and can bad sten' Bich
emotions; an'stae ma ' the thing
a waur, nay master wud la budge an
inch tae help her, sae, a I didna ken
whaur her cordial was yin', she had
tae come oot o' her e tairics tae tell
me whaur tae fin' it, ailed then she
gaed back into her ext ries again, and
1 gaed and got the bottlin and when
she had taken a cook o it, she was
rnichtily relieved, and t e extairics
gaed aff, which was gran'.
Bnt. sur, it's no' aboot 'my moister
I'm gaun tae write at this bout, nor
my mistress either, but aboot mysel',
•and what I mean tee tell yon is, that
I am waist dread& in luv at this
esraisent meenont, and ha'e been in
this bad way for a guid wheen months
noo, which is the September o' last
year. I daursay thiel may supparise
yon, an' many mae besides, for my
maister, whenever he mentions my
name, jist mek's me oot a muckle
cuif, that thinks o' naething but my
meat, while a' the the time .I'm jist as
muckle in luv as ever lie was, an'
maybe mair, for I rely believe he's

She has nae parteeclar station o' her
ain, but her faither is a souter in oor
toon ; she says her age is saxteen
come thofirst o' Aprile; .and for her
race, her faither is a Boois and her
mither is a Macturka which is a very
guid mixtur', or I'm disemal far, mita
