Description |
Protests at suggestion that field that goes with the ferry and is used for keeping a horse for passengers on the ferry, should be taken from him; urges Barcaldine to consider how much more useful it is to have such a horse now since the steamboats and the Oban coach commenced and gentlemen no longer take their own carriages as they used to do; 'this place would be a place of woe and derision without a horse'. Assures Barcaldine that the shop is not an impediment to the ferry, as some days they have had six men ferrying carriages and horses, and then those coming to shop were of assistance. Dated at Shian Ferry. |
