| Item Description | The Dear auld ha' [hame - home], page 3. This seems to be partially a reply to Greig about the book layout: 'Yes. Cradle Song Violin [three sharps, key signature for A major] Solo - then Do [ditto] - Song from under [a treble clef followed by two sharps, key signature for D major] or [a treble clef followed by five flats, key signature for D flat major]. Your fancy'. Skinner then adds a paraphrase of the words to his lullaby the Cradle Song: 'Angels that guard young children Come to our home tonight &c [etc.]'. The note finishes with 'Gramin!!!', scrawled cheerfully across the page as Skinner anticipates the return of his friend George Ingram from the United States. |
