My dear Susan You are an extremely foolish young girl with your sad prophetic forebodings instead of being cheerful and happy you give way from the most trifling causes to grief & despondency. Do not indulge in such ridiculous nonsense. It is really unbecoming at your age. You are not a lassie of fifteen now as I supposed you were when I first saw you. I shall certainly go to Dalmuir tonight and would gladly spend a longer time with you if I could therefore do not be foolishly dull at my leaving you for a short time otherwise I shall imagine that you will be always so on similar occasions. Ever faithfully yours Donald McLean Tuesday morning You are such an expert writer that I would almost require a clerk to correspond with you besides myself only I should deserve a good scolding. Did you receive a note in any other hand. Be a good girl dear.
