BORN BLIND AND DEAF. *75 



" Agreeably to your request, I have read your letter to Pro- 

 " fessor Stewart with as much attention as the short time it 

 " has been in my possession would admit of; and I certainly 

 " think you have stated those facts I informed you of, respect- 

 " ing my brother, most correctly. 



" My brother seems to be very well pleased with his change 

 " of residence *, and goes on much in the same way he did at 

 '* Ardclach ; that is to say, wandering for several miles round 



the small town we live in, or amusing himself by visiting the 

 " different carpenters* or other tradesmens' shops within his 

 " reach, and handling their implements, or trying to discover 

 " what they are engaged about. He has not yet discovered 

 " any anxiety to return to Ardclach, and is, I think, quite as 

 " happy as when there." 



* Mrs Mitchell and her family have within these few months left Ardclach 

 to reside at Nairn.
