letter by James Hill, junior, to his brother Thomas, of date 4th
May, 1 80 1, before referred to, he mentions that " Bell and
Helen, partly from health, partly from a view to economise, partly
from curiosity, have it in view to set out this summer on a peregri-
nation to the south of England. They are satisfied they cannot
live at Cartside on their income, and therefore wish it to be sold,
the rent which is derived from it being inconsiderable compared
to the interest which would be got from the price." They
accordingly travelled to and stayed at Shanklin, in the Isle of
Wight, thereafter going to Italy, where they spent one or more
winters in Rome, taking with them their brother Ninian's
daughters. Subsequently they returned to Scotland, where, as is
noted in reference to Helen Hill, they all afterwards lived in
Hope Street, Edinburgh.
Isabella Hill and her sister Helen executed a Mutual Settle-
