To JOHN SPOTTISWOODE1

MS., Pierpont Morgan Libr., New York; unpubl.

Dear Sir,

I have written to the D[uke]2 a letter which I hope will prevent the effect of any other application whatever. If Simson3 dies let me know by the first Post. I have forgot the name of the Kirk where our friend is minister. I ever am most faithfully yours

Adam Smith

[1 ]Nephew to William Strahan.

[2 ]Of Buccleuch.

[3 ]Presumably a minister whose church might be secured for ‘our friend’.
