Description: | Two page letter which Burns wrote to Graham of Fintry's wife enclosing a poem of which he was particularly pleased titled 'Epistle to Robert Graham Esq: of Fintry on the Election for the Dumfries string of Boroughs, Anno 1790-'. The letter expresses his indebtedness to the goodness of Robert Graham and his wife. (letter No 402)
He then reflects that his patron Robert Graham is bestowed with the politeness of a Gentleman and the kindness of a Brother when exercising his influence which Burns is greatly thankful for.
On page two Burns continues to discuss his failings and says that it is not his fault that he lives a life of dependency but he still hopes to retain a generous heart and independent mind. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Burns Monument Trust | Temporal: | 1790-01-01 - 1790-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Letter of Robert Burns to Mrs Graham of | Go to resource |
