Letter from Robert Burns to Alexander Findlater, October 1789
Burns wrote this single page letter to Mr A Findlater, Supervisor of Excise in Dumfries, from Ellisland. Findlater later became the Excise supervisor under whom Burns worked and to whom he reported. The letter is thought to be dated in October 1789, not long after Burns started his Excise duties on 1 September.
