Letter from John Neilson, Glasgow
- Reference No:
- U DDSY3/1/22
- Dates:
- 4 Nov 1745
- Description:
- All rebels have left Edinburgh for England. Does not hear that there are any forces on the west road to stop them. About 1,700 of them went to Peebles two days previously. Many who were forced to join them have deserted, and estimated strength 7,000 - 8,000 at most. If Wade has left Newcastle for Berwick, and they head for the West of England, they will have 4 - 5 days start. Fears this unlucky affair will not be over as soon as expected. Nobody from Glasgow has joined the rebels
