After thanking him for his ‘kind and seasonable letter’ he states that he is ‘not much affected by rude abuse in parliament or through the press’ as he is ‘pretty well hardened in that respect’ and that he ‘may possibly have an opportunity’ in his own ‘proper place’ ‘of explaining & vindicating’ his position for the purpose of which he asks Allan ‘for somewhat more particular information in regard to monumental inscriptions in Christian communities’. He explains that he is referring to Allan’s comment that he does not ‘recollect having seen lines from an uninspired penman with the exact place of the quotation in his writings’. He asks if this applies to Roman Catholic cemeteries. ‘It would be no inconsistency to have the Apocrypha quoted in them’. At the head of the letter he writes: ‘Pardon me if I have addressed you erroneously’. 18 June 1863; Edinburgh. unknown
