WARRINGTON, THURSDAY 20 AUGUST
The usual period for recreation being returned I obtain a month’s leave of
absence with the intention of visiting my family in Edinburgh but while making
arrangements for my departure I was unexpectedly requested to attend Mr
Fitchett at the Lancaster Assizes where I was detained six days and during my
confinement there had the mortification of receiving a letter from my father
informing me that he had left Edinburgh on a Tour of The Highlands and
requesting me to join him as early as I could at the Town of Inverary in
Argyleshire.
