Date5 September 1791
Description[I have now accomplished the chief end of my journey in visiting most of my relations here and at Glasgow. My father is very infirm. I did not see Mr. Shearer at Glasgow, but Mr. Hamilton to whom I gave the specimen of the Halfpenny, is well pleased with it. The Edinburgh Halfpenny is in general circulation here: not a Halfpenny of Geo. III will pass, as they are all reckoned counterfeit.]
