Memoir of the Chisholm

J 70 FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE.
" I dined with Mr. Clark, and came south
with Muirton and Glenmoriston in the coach ;
and then we posted on together from Perth
with Baillie, who was also in the coach, to
Edinburgh, as the mail was full. I dined with
Applecross on Saturday in Edinburgh, by an
invitation received in Inverness, and went out
to pass Sunday afternoon and night with
Charles Forbes. Thence I started on the
Monday morning by mail, and arrived here
this morning. They are all here in great glee
about our success in Ross-shire. I trust and
pray that we may not be led away, in these
our triumphs, from the only true and safe
ground of political, as well as every other
exertion, the obedience, the love, and fear of
God. These only can make us ultimately
successful in any thing worth contending for.
" In haste, your most dutiful son,
" A. W. Chisholm."
