Letter from Robert Burns to William Lorimer
In this letter to William Lorimer, Burns invites his friend to a dinner party hosted at his home in Dumfries. Burns had been searching for Lorimer at both his home and the Globe Tavern to offer this invitation but has resorted to a written note. Others will be joining them for ‘a plateful of hotch-potch and a bottle of good sound port.’ Burns also writes that his wife Jean would like William's daughter Jeany to visit at the same time.
