Chapter X: Appendix: I.—pickle’s Letters

These two letters of Pickle’s, not published in full in _Pickle the Spy_, illustrate ‘The Case against Glengarry’ in this volume. In the letter dated Edinburgh, 14th September, 1754, we find that, immediately on hearing of his father’s death, the writer sent a note to Gwynne Vaughan, an English official, and went to Edinburgh, writing from Newcastle on his way North. His ‘family affairs are in confusion.’ Now Old Glengarry died in Edinburgh, on September 1, 1754, and, as has been elsewhere shown, Young Glengarry at once repaired to the North. No reader of these letters can doubt that their writer is, or is feigning to be, Young Glengarry. Now no such pretence could possibly succeed in Edinburgh, where Young Glengarry, a man eminently well known, happened to be at the moment. For the rest, the letters are mainly concerned with the Informer’s proposed terms of payment, now that his ‘situation is greatly altered,’ by the death of his father, obviously Old Glengarry. Further comment seems needless, the evidence being beyond suspicion, and capable of but one interpretation.

Dr. Sir,—I have receivd the pleasur of yours of 20 Septr, but
have been of late so hurried that I had no time to return a
proper answer. I thought I was pritty pointed in my last in
regard to a certain stipulation, but as by yours I imagen I was
not so well understood, I beg leave to be now more explicite.
I waited patiently four years (since 1750) without making
the least demand, but for Journy expences, which fell so fare
short that I spent all my owne ready Mony, and ran in debt
eight hundred £st. Now, Sir, I expect that your friend will pay
this sume by way of gratification, which will make me free of
all debt contracted during my several trips, for I expect to
be considered for what is past, as well as for times coming:
I _had had his worthy Brother’s[201] paroll for this as well
as a promise of his countenance, and protection, in all my
other claimes, as I will not varrie the least in my demand,
notwithstanding my situation is greatly altered_, I will only
mention £ five hundred St. yearly, twice regularly payd by
Grandpapa, for I won’t absolutely have to dow with any other.
If Mr. _Kenady_ (Duke of Newcastle) whose friendship I have a
right to Claim, in vertue of his Brother’s promise, will obtain
this for me, there is nothing honourable he can think of, but
I am able to perform. Only I beg he be not prejudic’d by that
swarm of Videts that dally infest him. The Services I can be of
are pritty well known, and as I am embark’d I am determin’d to
percevere, but then I expect that Mr. Kenady (D. of N.) will
fulfill his worthy Brother’s promise to me, which was to clear
me of the Debts contracted in my new way of lief, when that
is done, and a certain thing yearly fixt, Mr. _Kenady_ shall
dispose of me in what shape he pleases. Young Swift (Lochgarry)
is arrived, and upon his waiting of _20_ (Genl. Bland) was
not recevd as was promis’d he should. When I waited of him,
he did not receve me as I expected, haughtly refusd the use
of a fulsie without I should qualifie. I smiling answr’d, if
that was the case, I had then a right without his permission,
but that he could not take it amiss that I debar’d all under
his comand the pleasure of hunting upon my grounds, or of any
firing, which they can’t have without my permission, so that I
thought favours were reciprocall. _20_ (Genl. Bland) and his
Club pretends to be well inform’d of the minutest transaction
in the Grand Monark’s Cabinet, _O rare polliticians, Poor 21
(Bruce) is greatly to be pityed, for my old friends are mad at
my consulting him in all my affairs, and 20 (Bland) and some
about him spoke very injurious of him to me_. I think this
ought to be put to rights. _I go North in a few days_, I hope
to prevail on _21_ (Bruce) to follow in order to assist me
in making a Judicial rent roll.[202] My stay will not exceed
a month, and his not a fortnight, so that if you expect me
up, write under _21_ (Bruce’s) cover, and I shall obey your
comands. But Mr. _Kenady_ (D. of N.), your friend, must enable
me to go about it in a proper manner, and I am sure I will
performe the business to his entire satisfaction. Young Swift,
(Lochgarry) has verbally communicated to me most of _Miss
Philips_ (Young Pretender’s) amours. She has turn’d adrift all,
or most of her former companions and galants. (This refers to
the rupture between Prince Charles and his English adherents.)
My presence is much wanted, and ardently wished for by hir, and
hir present conductors. But I cant hear any thing materiall
till old _Swift_ (Lochgarry) return from hir. What I mentiond
concerning _Black Cattel_ is fact, but I hate repetitions, and
at any rate must deffer further particulars till my return
from the North. I will expect the pleasure of hearing to
satisfaction and pointedly from you—I will beg the continuance
of your good Offices, and will conclude by making offer of my
Compts. to Mr. _Kenady_ and assures him that all now depends
upon himself, as Every thing is in his option.

I ever remain, Dear Grandpapa

Your most obedient and most oblidged humble Servt.

ALEX GUTHRY.

Edinbr. 10. Octr. 1754.

(Pickle to G. V.) (Gwynne Vaughan)

Add. 32,736. f. 525.

Edinbr. 14 Septr. 1754.

Dr. Sir,—I am vastly uneasy not to receive the least answer
to either of my letters from Newcastle, or that which I wrote
immediately upon my Father’s death;[203] but, as I have the
greatest confidence in your friendship, I perswade myself that
nothing prevents my receiving apointed answer to every article
in both my last, but the multiplicity of weighty Affairs daily
crouding upon the Duke of Newcastle; therefore without any
suspicion or diffidence I am determined to continue firm to our
Concert, untill you acquaint me if he agrees to my Proposals,
which if he does, he may safely rely upon everything in my
power, and I think I can’t give stronger proof of my sincerity
than by this offer, _in the confusion of my Family affairs,
which in its present situation, demands all my attention_.
I have heard fully from Lochgary, who acquaints me that the
Young Pretender’s affairs take a very good turn, and that he
has lately sent two expresses to Lochgary earnestly intreating
a meeting with Pickle, and upon Lochgary’s acquainting him of
the great distance Pickle was off, he commanded Lochgary to a
rendezvous, and he set out to meet me the 4th. Instant, and is
actually now with me.

I shall very soon have a particular account of the present
plan of operation. I have now the ball at my foot, and may
give it what tune I please, as I am to be allowed largely, if
I fairly enter in co-partnership. The French King is in a very
peaceable humour, but very ready to take fire if the Jacobites
renew their address, which the Young Pretender assures him
of, and he will the readier bestirr himself, as the English
Jacobites hourly torment him. Troops, Scotch and Irish, are
daily offered to be smuggled over: _but I have positively yet
refused to admit any_. The King of Spain has lately promised
to add greatly to the Young Pretender’s patrimony, and English
Contributors are not wanting on their parts.

I suspect that my letters of late to my friends abroad are
stopt, pray enquire, for I think it very unfair dealings. I am
in a few weeks to go north to put some order to my affairs.
I should have been put to the greatest inconveniency if _21_
(Bruce) had not lent his friendly assistance; but as I have
been greatly out of pocket by the Jants I took for Mr. Pelham,
I shan’t be in condition to continue trade, if I am not soon
enabled to pay off the Debts then contracted. I have said on
former occasions so much upon this head to no effect that I
must now be more explicit, and I beg your friendly assistance
in properly representing it to the Duke of Newcastle. If he
thinks that my services, of which I have given convincing
proofs, will answer to his advancing directly eight hundred
Pounds, which is the least that can clear the Debts of my
former Jants, and fix me to the Certain payment yearly of
Five hundred at two several terms, he may command anything in
my power upon all occasions. I am sorry to be forced to this
explanation, in which I always expected to be prevented. I am
so far from thinking this extravagant, that I am perswaded it
will save them as many thousands, by discarding that swarm of
Videts, which never was in the least trusted. If the Duke of
Newcastle’s Constituent (the King) was acquainted with this,
I dare say he would esteem the demand reasonable, considering
what he throws away upon others of no interest or power on
either side. I beg you’ll acquaint me with the soonest of
the Duke of Newcastle’s answer, and assure him of my ready
obedience to his commands. I have referred to _21_ to enlarge
further upon this, and other subjects I have been conversing
with him some days ago, _as he can inform you of my great
hurry and confusion for this fortnight past_,[204] which will
be all the apology I will make for this hurried scrawl, and I
beg you’ll be fully convinced of the great esteem etc. etc. etc.

P.S. Pray let me not be denied the Arms I wanted, and I hope
in case of accidents, you’ll take care of young Lochgary. I
am just this instant informed that _Mr. Nordly_ has left the
King of France for the summer season, and is residing now in
England, but can’t learn in what particular place—_21_ is
supposed to be the Watchman: whose letter will explain what he
hints of Lochgary.

_Mr. Nordly_ is not deciphered yet.

II.—_MACLEOD_

‘The Rebels had an implacable Illwill and Malice against Him (Macleod) as they alledged, and many of them believed, that he not only deserted, but betrayed their Cause: what truth there is in this I will not take upon me to determine.’ So says the writer of the MS. 104, ‘The Highlands of Scotland in 1750.’

‘Surely never did man so basely betray as did Macleod, whom I shall leave for the present to the racks and tortures of a guilty conscience, and the just and severe judgement of every good man.’ Thus writes Murray of Broughton, after narrating how Macleod gave a written promise to aid Prince Charles whenever he landed. What he _did_ was to send information to Forbes of Culloden, ‘it is certain that the pretended Prince of Wales is come into the coast of South Uist and Barra.’ He begs that his name as informant may be kept secret.[205]

Macleod can thus avoid the charge of betraying the Cause, only by disproof of Murray’s allegation that he gave a written promise to rise. But this allegation is confirmed by family tradition. ‘Miss Macleod of Macleod, Dunvegan Castle, remembers having seen in the family charter-chest an interesting correspondence between His Royal Highness and Macleod, in which Norman “invited the Prince to come over, several months before he arrived,” but the letters have since disappeared, and the family knows nothing as to where they have gone to.’[206]

On the showing of Miss Macleod, as reported by Mr. Mackenzie, in the passage just cited, Murray might well cry ‘never did man betray so basely as did Macleod.’ Despite his written promise to Prince Charles, Macleod was the first to send information against ‘the pretended Prince of Wales.’ After Prestonpans, ‘it would appear,’ writes Mr. Mackenzie, ‘that Macleod was taking lessons in duplicity from Simon,’ Lord Lovat. Macleod scarcely needed instruction in treachery; but, if Mr. Mackenzie is right, he now meant to send Young Macleod with the clan to join the Prince, while he stayed at home, and said that he could not help it.[207] This domestic arrangement was not carried into effect.

Macleod was born in 1706, and inherited the family lands with 60,000_l._ He died in 1772, leaving 50,000_l._ of debt. He is still spoken of in the traditional history of his family as _An Droch Dhuine_, or ‘the Wicked Man,’ partly because of his extravagance, partly ‘for his cruel treatment of his first wife and Lady Grange.’[208] When we add his treachery to the Prince, we see in Macleod a character far from exemplary. His grandson speaks of him as ‘always a most beneficent and beloved chieftain, whose necessities had lately induced him to raise his rents.’... ‘The Jacobites treated him as an apostate, and the successful party did not reward his loyalty.’[209] He reaped as he had sown.

[2] There is a brief sketch of the Earl in his brother’s Memoirs (Spalding Club), which cites d’Alembert, and puts the Earl’s birth in 1687.

[3] Plaids worn by the Earl and his brother are preserved in a house in Fifeshire.

[4] This remark makes it probable that the Earl was really a young man. If born in 1693, as some thought, he would be twenty-three in 1716. (As, indeed, one of d’Alembert’s authorities says that he was.) If a year or two older, he could scarcely have pleaded youth as a reason for silence.

[33] In the papers of Ramsay of Ochtertyre occurs perhaps the only unkind reference to the Earl. Ramsay reports that, being told about the destitution of the child of his nurse (who had sold her cow and sent him the money in 1719), he made no remark. A reference to p. 66, _supra_, will show that silence followed by kind deeds was the Earl’s way when he heard a story of distress. Ramsay mentions that he sold his lands cheap when he finally left Scotland.

[41] See ‘Cluny’s Treasure,’ _postea_. A writer in the _Athenæum_ (July 9, 1898) appears to think (as was thought at the time) that Murray now intended to turn informer, and keep what he could of the French gold. This is not my impression.

[48] Unable, at first, to learn even the real name of Mlle. Luci, I appealed, in despair, to a lady who occasionally sees ‘visions’ in crystals. ‘What can you see of Mlle. Luci?’ I asked, by letter, giving no hint of any kind as to the lady’s date or connections. The seeress replied that, in an ink-bottle on her writing-desk, she saw a girl of about twenty-eight, dark, handsome, rather like Madame Patti in youth. Her dress was that of the middle of the eighteenth century. On her shoulder was laid another lady’s hand, a long, delicate, white hand, with a ‘marquise’ diamond ring. ‘_La Grande Main_,’ I exclaimed, ‘the hand of La Grande Main!’—whom we later discovered to be Madame de Vassé.

The coincidence was certainly pretty, but, unless a portrait of Mlle. Ferrand can be discovered, we must remain ignorant as to whether she was correctly represented in the ink-picture; whether a true refraction shone up from the dead past, the afterglow of a romance.

[88] It is plain that the account given on p. 144, and said by the Informer to be ‘in Clunie’s writing,’ is absolutely wrong, cannot be by Cluny, and is meant to incriminate that chief. Not only are the 6,000 louis carried to Charles by Kennedy omitted, but the ‘treasure’ intercepted by Downan and Glenevis does not appear, while 2,000 of the 27,000 louis are left out of the reckoning. ‘The State of Clunie McPherson’s Intromissions,’ in short, is a fraudulent document. It bears traces of confused manipulation in various interests.

[120] The tradition of Glengarry’s treachery has reached me both from Scotland and America, under dread secrecy!

[121] In 1749 a Mr. Bruce was appointed to survey the forfeited and unforfeited estates of the Highlands, including Glengarry’s. Pickle speaks of employing ‘Cromwell’ (Bruce) to draw up for him a judicial rent roll. The two Bruces, the surveyor and the Court Trusty, are obviously the same man, and he is probably the writer of the tract, _The Highlands in 1750_. (MS. 104. King’s Library.)

[122] It is needless to consider the theory that Pickle was James Mohr Macgregor, who died in 1754.

[175] We have another statement by Culloden: ‘From Perth to Inverness, and thence to the Western Sea, including the Western Islands, ... no part is in any degree cultivated, except some spots here and there in straths or glens, by the sides of rivers, brooks, or lakes, and on the sea-coast. The grounds that are cultivated yield small quantities of mean corns not sufficient to feed the inhabitants, who depend for their nourishment on milk, butter, cheese, &c., the product of their cattle.... Their habitations are the most miserable huts that ever were seen.’ _Culloden Papers_, p. 298.

[176] This is the house near Musselburgh, which the wicked Colonel Charteris lent to Culloden, who had defended him from a charge of rape. In one room (when I was a boy) you saw in the centre a great black blotch, and black marks as of footsteps tiptoeing out to the door. A gruesome room!
