Description

Letter from Robert Burns to Agnes McLehose, dated Dumfries, 15 December 1791.

Writing nine days after their final meeting, Robert complains this is the sixth letter he has sent Clarinda without reply. Undeterred, he tells her he is having a ring made to hold a lock of her hair and has sent a song about her for publication.
