Highland friends, Mrs McDonald & others, not forgetting your favorite, Mrs Calder. Send my trousers and dirty [crossed out] clothes for the wash by the bearer. Let me know what you are doing, precious little no doubt, also tell me what new obligations I am to be placed under by your ladyship for want of due attention & politeness in reference to your visiting plans. Yours Donald McLean Thursday morning 31st Octr or Hallowen [1850]
