they have no opportunity of sending these papers, as to
the matters of which they are themselves strangers, for
his own personal consideration but this will to

Dear Sir
I wish much I had been
aware of your not having gone for
the Highlands, because whilst I am sorry
for the cause that prevented you, I would
before now have communicated to you
in your concerns with Sonachan. In this
letter I will confine myself entirely
to the subject of the prefixed Copies and
of the Papers that accompany it in the
Packet, & I must beg of you to have in
view that to this business I am alto:
:gether a stranger, but that is of little
[3]or no consequence as it is now so nearly at
an end. because you will see that Mr. Scott
Moncrieff has made up a State of Accounts &
is about to Decree agt. you for £478·6·10d.
besides [–?–] since 7 April 1806, and the
share of the arbiters & Clerks fees which
are generally paid by the parties equally.
I beg your very particular attention to
the State, and that before you leave home
you will be so good as to
return it & the [–?–] of the decree Arbitral with all the
Remarks that you think can be useful
to you, but unless they are clearly to be
favourable we must not make matters
worse by unavailing of position. This
Claim will be an important consideration
in the providing of money, and every way de:
[4]:serves your best consideration
I am
