LIFE OF JAMES PELHAM PITCAIRN. 261
November 6th, Thursday. Went to London with dear Aunt
Phoe's remains by 9.30 train. She was interred at Spital-
fields Church, in the family vault under the Chancel.
Robert, self, Mr Randall, and young Bullock attended
funeral. Robert dined with me. Left by 5 o'clock express.
July 18th, 1857. Reached Dublin at 7. My father's
eightieth birthday.
July 22nd. Harriet Pitcairn West 1 and William Gorman 2
were married at St Peter's by me ; everything went off
charmingly.
23rd. Reached dear home at 8, after very happy visit.
From The Duchess of Roxburghe (after her Visit with the
Duke and Lady Charlotte at Longsight Rectory, to see
the Manchester Exhibition) to Mrs James Pelham Pitcairn,
Longsight Rectory, Manchester.
London, October 21st.
My dear Mrs Pitcairn, — I wish you and your dear husband
could have heard us all three speaking of Longsight, on our way
to town and many times since. It is no mere form of words to
say that my visit afforded me unmixed pleasure, and we all thank
you and James most heartily for your affectionate kindness and
genuine hospitality, both of which, I think you know, Roxburghe
and I can appreciate. Will you give the dear old man 3 my love,
and tell him his likeness is to be framed against my return to
England, ready for my room in the North ! I did so enjoy seeing
him again, and to feel how happy you make his latter years.
I trust my boy 4 continues to flourish ; I believe his Godmother
did him and you no good during those Exhibition days ! And
now I must conclude, uniting Crowie's kindest love with mine to
you and James. My husband has not returned yet. — Believe me
always, Yours very affectionately, S. Roxburghe.
From The Duchess of Roxburghe, Floors, to The Rev.
J. P. Pitcairn, Longsight Rectory, Manchester.
Floors, April igfA, 1858.
My dear James, — I got your very kind letter the other day,
and was glad to hear you are all so well. The weather is now
1 His sister Eliza's only daughter.
2 The Rev. William Gorman, Archdeacon of Ossory.
3 William Pitcairn, Canon Pitcairn's uncle.
4 William Dalbiac Pitcairn, her godson.
