TitleLetter from Henry Millar ( a "Scots Clergyman") at Neilstown (?) to Samuel Kenrick at Bewdley
DescriptionHas just returned from abroad; regrets that he will not see "Buckley-Hatchet and you this season"; does not agree that a University education is not essential for a lawyer; is living in poor quarters at the old Factory House, but hopes to move to a more acceptable house (manse) soon. Much about one "Al Pinkerton". Gossip and news of family and friends, clergymen and stipends in "the Kirk", etc. A troupe of "Players" is opposed from the pulpit, having come to Paisley from Port Glasgow, and is bounded to Renfrew; the Sacraments are denied to those who frequented the playhouse; dangers of a mob-rising. Good wishes to Mrs Kenrick and family.
