I almost agree with the
Dutch Burgher mentioned
by Motley, who said,
"Rather the Spanish Inquisition
than the Geneva Discipline
... die pökige hüre".
The Inquisition at least
left private life free.
It is a pity my people
sold the sword, Charles I

gave to Montrose.

I must go to Abbotsford
to see it some day.
Montrose was a great man,
but at times I think
I could have got on better
with Claverhouse.

With thanks & admiration
for your fine study of
the gallant Grahame,

Yrs very sincerely

RB Cunninghame Grahame
