The 28th was finally fixed for James's departure. James Murray and Lord Clermont were despatched to Scotland. The royal seals and a sealed packet of letters with a little golden heart were taken to the queen in a shagreen case, with a devotional book, all in a new trunk. His legacies are all affectionately recorded by Nairne, down to his old inkhorn and portfolio. His books he bequeathed to Dr. Ingleton, his old preceptor. Nairne could not bring away the four volumes of James II.'s Memoirs, so he sealed them up and left them in charge of Dr. Ingleton and Sir William Ellis. Letters and copies were left in the most orderly bundles. Two keys — one " the king could not well remember what it was," the other of a strong-box containing his clothes, left at the Scots College, were to be sent to the queen. He assured Nairne that nothing but the necessity of secrecy would have made him leave as he did, literally alone, without the comfort of having anybody of confidence with him; but he had directed the queen to send Nairne and Middleton over to him first of all.
