Description |
Dated at Ach(insicallan).
27 December 1776. 'You are so pointed and minutly exact in money matters that I am allmost afraid to have any transactions with you for fear of falling inadvertantly into a scrape that will throw dust in my way. Hinting that I must pay for the stampt paper to writ you a bond appears most ridiculous to me ... I am still resolved not to let the money out of the house till I receive that bond bearing interest from the 9th curt ... where you are to find the stampt paper is not my bussnes to enquire'.
1781, December 26. 'I am at a loss how to behave with our friend Invernahyle. Not withstanding of his fair promises and of his letter in your keeping, the devill a farthing I have got yet'.
18 letters and 3 answers, one intimating death of James Campbell, writer's son on 4th July, who is to be buried on 11th July at Ardchattan, 1782, July 9 |
