Scope and Contents
The earliest of the series of letters, June 1643-August 1644, were written from France, where Charles Erskine was probably tutor to the young Thomas Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Haddington. Erskine was then appointed a Commissioner to the Assembly at Westminster. His letters are mostly on personal matters, although he makes a few references to the work of Parliament.
