Letter, 1743, of Colonel James Gardiner to the Reverend Philip Doddridge, on personal matters., 1743, 1745.

 Item
Identifier: MS.3648, folios 43-46

Scope and Contents

The text of the letter has in several places been altered as if for publication, in a hand which is apparently not Philip Doddridge's, but may be that of the Reverend Thomas Stedma, in whose ‘Letters to and from ... Doddridge’, page 230, the letter was first printed, with these alterations.

Also present are modern copies of two letters, 1745, of Lord Grange (one to a Wesley), on the Jacobite campaign, particularly the battle of Prestonpans.
