  • Address: The Right Honble Henry Dundas, M.P., Dinero Lodge, by Crieff

MS., Brotherton Libr., Leeds University; unpubl.

Dear Sir

It gives me the greatest uneasiness to be obliged to trouble you with any sort of application. But the inclosed letter,1 in which I perfectly know the truth of every circumstance, has moved me so very much, that I cannot avoid recommending it to your attention. I heartily beg your Pardon for this freedom and hope you will believe me to be your most obliged

and most obedient Servant

Adam Smith
