Description: | This letter accompanied a parcel of books which Burns returned to Mrs Dunlop and about which he comments. He apologises for the brevity of the letter as he is in an unsettled period but hopes to find more time to write later. (letter no 212)
This is the 10th of the 77 surviving letters Burns wrote to Mrs Dunlop. It has been written on (docketed) by the Burns biographer Dr Currie after Burns's death which accounts for the heading Robert Burns and the code C72 on the first page.
In the second page Burns apologises for the routine nature of the letter explaining that he has such little time at home for his correspondence. He expresses the hope that in a few months things will settle down to normal and he can enjoy the happiness which a fuller correspondence will bring. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Burns Monument Trust | Temporal: | 1788-01-01 - 1788-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Letter of Robert Burns to Mrs Dunlop of | Go to resource |
