" Again — " There is that rogue Forbes, fifteen shillings sterling a day net. There is Major Burnet has eight shillings a day ; there is one Dunbar, a cowardly rogue, has eight shillings a day; there is the Laird of Glengary has 2(J0Z sterling a year of pension, a Papist, and in Lord James Murray's name ; and meantime my brothers must want, and I not gratified in a trifle since I came from London. All this I have over and over again represented to V. Seafield ; but to no purpose.
