/ have hunted the Vale, and in tendering my hearty 

 thanks for the same I beg to add that even in my 

 mother country there is beef and mutton, and some- 

 thing to wash it down at the " Fox's Head," viz.,

KiNTORE. 

 To the Rev. Robert Symonds, 

 Hinton, Kingstone Inn. 



In a letter to Mr. T. T. Morland, dated 

 April 8th, 1837, Lord Kintore mentions that 

 he was still hunting- his own hounds in the 

 Turriff country, and that his pack had been 

 smashed up by kennel lameness, " that con- 

 founded malady " ; he had, however, just 

 bought Murray of Broughton's Dumfriesshire 

 hounds, thirty-two couples of old hounds and 

 eight couples of puppies, for which he gave 200 

 guineas. " So I shall once more ' Yoaxty ' 

 for him, boys." 



In 1838 Lord Kintore was created a Baron 

 of the United Kingdom. He married first, 

 1817, Juliet, fifth daughter of Robert Renny, 

 Esq., of Borrowfield, N.B. ; second, Louisa 

 youngest daughter of Francis Hawkins, Esq. 

 He was the grand-father of the present, the 

 ninth Earl of Kintore.
