Wilhelmina Nisbet, the Countess of Leven, writes six letters to Charles Nisbet on a number of different issues, including commenting on contemporary religious movements and arguing that Nisbet should not accept the position as President of Dickinson College. "The state of affairs there, & those especially concerning the [College], are very precarious, & it ought to be further advanced, & the state of affairs more settled... for one to leave [Scotland]," as Wilhelmina explains.
