For this purpose he took up his residence at Brow".
Arrivin aboot 3 Julie, he steyed for three week at the inn, ludgin in the 'chaumer end' o the inn. The inn didna serve port wine an as this haed been prescrived as a pairt o his treatment Burns wis advised bi Davidson tae get some fae his guidson that rin an inn at nearby Clarencefield.

Durin this stey, on 5 Julie, Maria Riddell sent her cairiage tae collect him so that he coud dine wi her at Lochmaben. She recordit that he haed the "stamp of death" on his face an wis "touching the brink of eternity" an his goamin tae her wis "Well madam, have you any commands for the other world".

Probably the first narrator's o "A dae no unnerstaund" version wis the friar Toribio de Benavente, in his beuk Historia de los indios de la Nueva España (History o the Indians o New Spain) says: "''acause talkin wi those Indians o the coast, whaiver the Spainyie asked the Indians respondit: «Tectetán, Tectetán», which means: «A daena unnerstaund you, A daena unnerstaund you»: ...they corruptit the wird, an no unnerstaundin wha the Indians said, they said: «Yucatán is the name o this land»; an the same happened in a place..., a cape, which they cried cape Cotoch an aw; an Cotoch in that leid means hoose".
Anither version is frae Bernal Díaz del Castillo. In his beuk Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España (True History o the Conquest o New Spain), he says Yucatá means "land o yucas", a plant that wis cultivatit bi the Maya an wis an important fuid source for them.
