ANDERSON PAPERS. — KO. Ill, 

 (1.) 3fr. Thomas Paterson to James Anderson, Esq. 



London, feber 30"', 1710. 

 « Sir, 

 " I vrtotQ you the last post your daughter is now in St. 

 Martin's Lane in one Mrs. Johnston's (there Janet is with 

 her). She continues much about the same. Since the 

 last, I have gott further insight into the original of her 

 distemper, which is chiefly thus: — It seems its gone 

 against her inclination to live with the old gentleman, 

 and they knowing her indifferency of their complaints, 



• The word is translated as 1 have written it. Does it 

 mean common for Hoggacius (jr Iloggaster, i.e. Sheep of 

 the second year, or Iloggus, Ilogietus, a Ilog or Swine"

made them glade to part with her at any rate ; and on 

 this account, she has starved and mismanaged herself on 

 purpose, as I am informed, to get free of them. However, 

 she has promised, so soon as her former strength is re- 

 stored, to returne home to them ; but I am afraid it will 

 take a long time, pretending that as an excuse ; but had 

 she stay'd there, she would have been entirelj' lost, for 

 she would neither eat nor drink, and only but of discon- 

 tent; her aunt* would not take her home to her house, 

 nor advise her to any thing, seeing you left no charge 

 with her. I was mighty uneasy about it, not knowing 

 what to do with her; and she having no one else here 

 that would condescend, or so much as advise me what to 

 do, so I begg you'll write her a strict charge to return to 

 the old gentleman so soon as she is well. Janet is very 

 careful about her. I advised you formerly that I had 

 given her two guineas, and since have not thought fitt to 

 trust her with any more ; but have given Janet twentj' 

 shillings to lay out for her, and (she) is to account with 

 me for it when spent. If I don't write you in a post or 

 two, you may conclude she is recovering." 



(2.) James Anderson, Esq., to Mr. Thos. Paterson. 



" Dec. 12, 1710. 

 " [You did] well in letting Janet have any money ne- 

 cessary for JIar}', to manage, and continue so with as 

 sparing a hand as is possible ; and bid her stay with 

 Janet till I give further directions, and that she goe not 

 abroad without her. Pray Janet to take notice of this." 



Miss Mary Anderson gave her father much 

 vexation. She was evidently a young woman of 

 a violent- temper. This she inherited probably 

 from her mother ; as Anderson, judging from his 

 correspondence, was of a quiet and amiable dis- 

 position. Fortunately the young lady found fa- 

 vour in the eyes of Mr. Peter de Garden, or 

 Gardeine, the son of a respectable foreign mer- 

 chant, who married her in 1715. The marriage 

 had the effect of reconciling the father and 

 daughter.

" Edinburgh, Feb. 26ti>, 1712. 

 " My dear Sir, 

 " I hope my good friend, Mr. Turner, will excuse my 

 not writing him sooner, when I tell him I was very long 

 on the road, and upon my arrival had some matters of 

 very much consequences to me to look after besides the 

 inevitable formalities of giving and returning some visits. 

 This was scarce over when the measles, which has been 

 frequent and dangerous here, came in my family; and I 

 m^elf was attacked with rheumatick pains, that have kept 

 me at home these three weeks; and I underwent a full 

 career of drudgery of your trade. I am now, blessed be 

 God, pretty well again ; and in a day or two, Mr. Crow 

 and I are to visit honest Mr. Semplet, where, to be sure, 

 your friend will kindly remember you. In the throng of 

 all, Mr. Crow and I were not unmindful of your aflair,
