Excerpt from Sir Rae: A Poem
This poem was commenced nearly a year ago. The first canto I recited to the late Mrs. C. L. Ford, of this city, a lady of great literary taste and refinement. She encouraged me to finish the story; said she liked the rhythm and plot, but advised me to take off the shoes and stockings from Maidee's feet, as no lassie raised in a Highland hut indulged in that luxury. I thanked my dear friend for the advice, which I promised to follow.
