Summary
Informing him "that yesterday L'd Gray's Cause was decided entirely to my wish. The provost & two deputies from perth were very confident of success & my friend Hotspur, as you call him I'd rather call him Bobadil I believe had some thoughts of claiming costs...I think myself entitled to some merit in the Conduct of the Appeall... I did not argue the Cause to my own Satisfaction because I did not speak w'h any grace or ornament, But I am now certain that I understood the material points & however awkwardly I might have expressed myself I spoke sound law & just reasoning...Tomorrow I expect another victory over the Town of perth in the affair of the highways;" relating news of mutual friends.
