'I have now got a Cabinet for my Meddals and am about Ranging them in it. I should be rejoiced to have the pleasure of your good Company here, if it wou’d be any Amusement to you to see them. I’m sure no body could assist me better to place them right' (National Records of Scotland, Clerk of Penicuik Muniments GD18/5336/2; Brown 2020, p. 387; Burnett 2024, p. 27)
