Note 557 — A SHORT NARRATIVE OF MR. GRANT’S CONDUCT DURING THE REBELLION
Reading edition
App. 38. C. of G., ii. 201. (From Huntly.) Grant writes he has a letter from Loudoun intimating he should not have marched further than Keith, and he will return there next day. Culcairn and Mackintosh want to join Macleod at Inverurie to-morrow night.
An enclosure contains the following lines, which naturally were not sent up to Government, and are not in the Record Office. They are taken from The Chiefs of Grant:—
‘Lord Loudoun will not act as Cope, Whose ribbon now is call’d a rope; If Grant is armed to join M‘Leod The enemy is soon subdued.’
