He is looking remarkably well. Still looking after the young ladies but never coming to a final conclution with them. I am glad to learn that your little boy is such a fine child. Darling pet, what would I not give to see its sweet wee self. I do hope if you are still intending coming home that you will bring him with you. I have been on the look out for some time back for a chance to send him a little Highland dress but as yet not met with any anyone going. I was in Glasgow 3 weeks past. Saw Aunt Anne & Bell, both well. I also saw Mr John Lamont the Writer who asked kindly for you. On my way home saw Capt McDonald of Glen Con who resides at Portobello near Edinr. He likewise kindly enquired for you & so did the McLean of Chalastal [?].
