Description: | A three page letter in which Burns makes an effusive reply to Robert Graham's favourable response to his letter of 10th September. He also reiterates his wish to obtain an Excise Division by the following summer and suggests a wider alternative to his earlier plan. (letter No 273).
The page continues with Burns coming back to the doubtful short term prospects offered by his farming efforts and reminding Robert Graham of his earlier request to make an Excise position available to him by the following summer.
In page two Burns continues to praise the generosity and patronage which he has received from Robert Graham and admits that there is little he can do in return but acknowledge this benevolence. | 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 Robert Graham | Go to resource |
