Letter from Student to Landlady

Author(s): Stewart, Alexander

Dear Madam



Should I not write to you to thank you
for the many civilities which I received from you whilst I
staid at your house, certainly I would ppear ungrateful &
unworthy of them, but be aſsured that I remember your
kindneſses with Gratitude, and that I will always think myself
in your debt. I am sorry I cannot have the pleasure
of boarding at your house next Winter as I am not to go to
Glasgow, being prevented by a cause unknown to me
when I left your house, but when I return to Glasgow, which
will be again Winter come a year, I shall never stay in any house
except yours, where I expect to get my old Room. Will Drennan
desired me to give his compliments to you and inform you
that he has taken a Room at one Mrs Holmes's, where he
will lodge, but that he will Dine at your house.

My father & Mother join me in compliments to
you & your two daughter, & I am

Dr. Madam your most obliged
and obedt. humble servt.

Alexr. Stewart
P. S. let not Joe Briſset
be forgott in the compliments.
