The collection they are trying to save includes an early volume of poems by Robert Burns in his own hand - containing some of his earliest recorded literary works, and some of the poet’s earliest correspondence, including a letter to his beloved father.
His Royal Highness has supported the FNL’s work to save the #HonresfieldLibrary manuscripts – find out how you can make a difference here ⬇️
