for ladies to travel. It would do you a great deal of good to take such an excursion. You must forgive me for a short epistle Susan as I am really fatigued and with kind regards to Mamma. Believe me to remain Very sincerely yours Donald McLean When I get to Wellington I shall expect you to hem 3 silk handkerchiefs for your late neglect which is an exceedingly moderate punishment when you consider that I always write to you even after the most fatiguing journeys. Good night Douglas. Be a good girl. D McLean
