My dear John

The Memoir came out from Edin. on Saturday afternoon (I have been here since Thursday) - I am more than pleased with it - it is such a life like description of him - & it is so very interesting, as was to be expected, from so interesting a

word painter as you - I shall ever feel most grateful to you, for having given to the world such a vivid picture of one who was in many ways, a unique figure & character. I am waiting to write more fully tomorrow, and to send back the Memoir, as Johnnie comes tonight from Oxford, & I want him to read it, & see what he says -

I have filled up the queries, & one or two little things that I might like changed a wee bit, I will tell you of tomorrow My own idea is, that it should be publicly published (and I don't think there is much if any, too intimate for that - for it makes it more interesting, and ladies especially enjoy these homely bits) for I can't help thinking that with your able exposition of his opinion upon Church Union, at the present juncture

the memoir might influence some - and that like Samson, he might bring more round to his views in his death, than he did in life - Please could you get Sir G. Reid's picture photogravured - and tell Annan to send the acct to me - the picture will be at Moray Place, whenever the Exhibition closes, and Moray Place is open - Johnnie's wedding is tomorrow week, at Holywell Church at 2 15 - but hasn't Susie got an invitation? Johnnie and I sent one to her about Wednesday last

If Blackwood publishes it, I wouldn't like them to lose anything by it - not that they are at all likely to - but I think it well just to mention this, because if there were the least chance of such a thing I'd like to make it good to them -
