| Evidence: | From letter to John Murray from his brother-in-law, Elliot, 27 June 1815:
'I was much alarmed by seeing in the newspapers that you had been knocked down and robbed of all your money (3s. 6d. in silver, and 4d. in copper coin). Fortunately Annie's (his sister) letter of the 16th arrived at same time, and informed me of your not having suffered much personal injury.' |
