Physical Description
Lithograph fac-simile of an A. L. S. in possession of R. C. Davis Esq. Phila. 2 pp. Fo. With a wood engraving, Drawn from memory by C. A. Poulson. "Shippen Mansion" Res. of Dr. B. Rush, at the time of his death. No. 98 South 4th. Street Philada
Description
He has deferred answering the letter by Dr. [Nathaniel] Chapman, because the box made of the tree which sheltered Wallace was stolen on the road, and he has vainly tried to recover it; he deeply regrets the loss of the gift; congratulates Buchan on the elevation of his brother [Lord Erskine] to the Chancellorship; the latter's son [David Montagu Erskine] will be received with open arms as minister to the United States; the Palmer family, recommended by Buchan, are doing well; Major [David] Lenox's family often talk of Buchan's friendliness to them.
