Letter from John Neilson, Glasgow

Reference No:
U DDSY3/1/70
Dates:
19 Mar 1746
Description:
No dependable news. Rebels round Inverness claim to be about 8,000 and intend to give Cumberland battle. May dispute passage of the Spey or, keeping moving, give the Duke the slip 'and pay us another visit'. If they do 'we could not be more surprised at it than at their retreat from Derby'. Hopes to see Sykes soon, having sent packs of fine linens to York where he will open and sell them
