side 4 -- address on wrapper to the Countess of Crawford.

This is in the handwriting of Archibald, 11th E. of Eglinton.
He married Lady Jean Lindsay, dau. of the Countess of Crawford, in
1772; she d. in Jan 1778. I note the black seal on the wrapper.

JB visited the Countess of Crawford 6-8 Nov 1778. (Jf).

Frank Brady points out that Eglinton may have been franking a
letter from his wife to her mother, the Countess. This return to
the "Ode", in that case, seems probably made on an earlier visit
in March or April 1777. (BP xii.145, 184).
