Continued entries/extra info
an amanuensis for you
see that my writing is rather
awful.
My residence is not now
in Scotland where I am only
on a visit, and I hope to
settle in London and shall
be glad to meet you as
I shall not be here when
you come in august.
I have lately enquired
if the field of Bannockburn
has been enquired, & when
published, I shall better
understand the position
of the army of Bruce
concerning which I raised
an anonymous discussion
last summer in the Edinburgh
Courant (?). I mention this as
such enquiries were entered
into by your orders in regard
to Cromwell's victory at Dunbar.
Yours truly
P Yule
Sir Henry James
Transcriber's notes
Towards the end of the letter there is a reference to a discussion, I presume, in a newspaper, I have transcribed it as the Edinburgh Courant but I could not make any better sense of the second word. I shall try Google.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Edinburgh Courant was a broadsheet newspaper from the 18th century. It was published out of Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Its first issue was dated February 14-19, 1705 and was sold for a penny. It was one of the country's first regional papers, second only to the Norwich Post (1701). The paper was produced twice weekly for five years, then continued as the Scots Courant until April 1720. Later that same year, the Edinburgh Evening Courant began publication, and it survived until the Evening News came into existence in 1873.

Ordnance Survey - Lanark county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Lanark, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
