Description: | Burns is about to set forth on his journey from Edinburgh through the Borders and writes by way of farewell and thanks to Hugh Blair who has befriended and supported him in his period in Edinburgh while he was arranging for the publication of the Edinburgh edition of his poems. (letter no 101)
Hugh Blair had promoted Burns and his works, furnishing the poet with the epithet: 'child of nature'.
Page two of two. This page reads from 'Honor me' to the poet's signature. Burns's letter concludes by saying that he has sent a proof copy of the Beugo engraving of himself on India paper followed by a most polished expression of thanks to finish. It is known that Blair replied the same day. | 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 the Rev.
