Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan
University of Edinburgh headed notepaper. - Asks Bessie to talk to Dr Haydn Brown before she commits herself to helping Grettie further: she has no idea of 'the danger of the present action', nor of 'the uncontrollable mischief poor Grettie may... make of any confidence' Bessie has ever shown her. Has told Brown that he wants Bessie to talk to him, asks her not to tell Grettie she is seeing him: 'what she dislikes is not persons as such, but she dislikes being found out'. Bessie must not give Grettie any hint of Tovey's intentions: even if she were trustworthy, her family are not, and it was 'a vulgar little shark' [crossed out text seems to suggest this was a lawyer] who came with Hugh Cameron to see Tovey at Hedenham.
