ABSTRACT

The General Douglas having paid farewell visits to his friends among the neighbouring gentlemen, prepared to return to London. A person of less note than the great man, who lived at no great distance, and perhaps lives still, was displeased / that General Douglas and his son left the country without paying their court to his Knight-hood. As young Douglas was a relation of Sir Duncan, the General had given him a letter of introduction to him while at London, on his return from India. Douglas had left the letter and his address, but finding no notice was taken of it, had never thought of repeating his call. A person belonging to Sir Duncan called at Tay Bank, and gave intimation that a visit from the General and his son would be acceptable, and, indeed, was looked for.
