" Sir,—l am musk gratified by the compliment which has
been paid to me by the subscriber, to the Culloden Monu-
ment. Although I had great satisfaction an uniting with
them is doing honour to dm memory of brave men who do-
haded with Malty a cause which they conscientiously be-
lieved to be a jest cu, I trust the subscribers will excuse
me if I respectfully deckle the proposal which you have been
commimiosied to mks to me on their behalf. I cannot but
feel that, notwithstanding the wishes they have expresetd, it
would be prosemptioa in me to take a part in the ceremony
of laying the Brat stone of the monument, which properly
belongs to some one of those who have the good fortune to
be connected with Scotland by birth or some other local tie.
4 have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient savant,
