Description: | Letter written in October 1787. This follows on from previous correspondence between Burns and Miller; namely Burns' interest in the lease of Ellisland farm. The theme of this letter is Burns explaining to Miller how he would go about being Millers tenant farmer. (letter no 144)
Burns has since the January of this year shown an interest in Millers suggestion that he should consider renting one of his farms at Dalswinton near Dumfries.
Page two of two which reads from 'than another' down to the Poet's signature. Burns continues to express complimentary words about Miller as a Landlord and that he is compliant to the way in which Miller wishes to lay out the three farms he envisages on the estate. He then indicates that his cold should be sufficiently better to allow him to ride down to Dumfries the following week. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Burns Monument Trust | Temporal: | 1787-01-01 - 1787-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Letter of Robert Burns to Peter(Patrick) | Go to resource |
