Extract of a letter from Strathspey, in Scotland.
The spirit of emigration has reached this country; for on
Tuesday se'nnight about 200 persons rendezvouzed at
Aviemore, and marched off for Greenock, where they are to
embark for America. Among these unfortunate persons was a
woman of 83 years of age, on foot, with her son before her
playing "Tullichgorum" on his bagpipes. Some of them had
children of a month old, which the fathers carried on their
back in a shull or wooden basket.
