Then he moves on to deny the allegations claiming that they have been falsely uttered out of envy and that he will be proved innocent by telling the truth at all costs.
The first page Burns devotes to announcing the Excise order that he is to be investigated for disloyal political conduct and pouring out his fears for the consequence of loosing his job. He explains his concern for his family and loss of respect which could be entailed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Burns Monument Trust | Temporal: | 1792-01-01 - 1792-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Letter of Robert Burns to Robert Graham | Go to resource |
