14053Tibbermore near Perth Scotland. 16 December 1830. 4pp. 4to. Bifolium with the last page of text cross-written over the first and the valediction and signature cross-written over the second. In fair condition on aged paper with short closed tears along crease lines of the second page. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with red wax seal and postmarks to 'John Inglis Esq Balliol College Oxford' and redirected to 'Loganbank'. Neatly and closely written in a somewhat difficult hand made worse by the cross-writing the letter begins: 'Having never heard a word about you my dearest Johnny since the morning you left this in J Lindsays Gig I began to feel a kind of ignorant impertinence to know something of your movements at Oxford if you are in the way of getting a prize this year'. The rest of the letter is filled with family news of which the following is a sample: 'Mary has been inviting Meg to pay her a visit in Maitland St but her going depends entirely on Papa continuing to improve in the first place she goes to St Andrews with John to visit the Cooks and will probably proceed from thence to Edinh. if all things go smoothly. I trust Papa will not prevent her as a change to a town is certainly agreeable in Winter.' The ODNB sketches out Inglis's education: 'He went to Edinburgh high school and then to the University of Glasgow. From there he proceeded in November 1828 to Balliol College Oxford as a Snell exhibitioner. He graduated BA in 1833 and MA in 1837 and was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates in July 1835.'

19151Stanford Lincolnshire . 18 August 1865. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In good condition with traces of mount along one edge of verso of last leaf. Being away from home and his papers he cannot answer all the recipient's questions but 'it will be enough if I say that I shall not require an Organ & that the Illustrations to my lecture would or might be made to consist exclusively of unaccompanied vocal music mostly English. The effect of some pieces might be increased by being performed chorally - say with three or four good voices to a part but they will all admit of performance by one voice to a part'. He assumes that St Andrew's Hall 'can hardly be worse adapted for speaking in than the room in which I lecture sometimes at Edinburgh which is cruciform & holds 2500 people'. He comments on the practice of lecturing before concluding with the suggestion that 'all the Illustrations might be very safely left to the Cathedral Choir'.

If he cannot get a boat from Dumfries to Liverpool he will take a coach: 'its a mere trifle from Carlisle'. He has 'got a case with bottles' and would like 'to take a few Gallons of Whisky out with me the Idea of it is ten times more than the worth Thinking that you would not refuse me such a small request I have presumed to take it & have sent it off with 6 Gall:' He concludes by asking him to write to Wilson upon receipt of the letter: 'we shall have it here on Tuesday or probably Sunday'.

Addressed on reverse of second leaf with remains of red wax seal and postmark to 'Mr. John Ward Park Lane Lightmoor Near Shiffnall Shropshire L B.' Docketed: 'Particulars as to income &c &c'. He has not been 'indifferent' to Ward's 'very trying affair'. Later in the letter he comments: 'Yours is not the only case of Scotch Chapels that has made my heart to bleed. … Methodism ought not to be carried on at the cost of such sacrifices as yours.' Nevertheless he fears that nothing can be done regarding Ward's 'noble offer'. He presents in columns headed 'Yearly Income' and 'Yearly Expenditure' 'as correct a statement' as he can give: 'We have a good Chapel which will seat about five hundred persons two small houses a stable and a piece of ground let for building situated in the best part of the town.' He continues with reference to 'the collections' an 'application for a larger grant from Conference' the fact that 'a considerable number of our people have been in a state of great poverty' 'the income of our Circuit' 'poor Scotch stations' weavers 'the Trustees 'Captain Howie' 'letting public money go into the hands of poor men' the fact that 'the Episcopalians wanted the Chapel' 'the President'.
