The second part of the document beginning at the end of the third page begins: 'There is a mail coach from Inverness to Edinburgh in which I wd advise you to travel between Aviemore & Blair Atholl. The rest of this route you had better travel slowly & deliberately in an open Droskey i.e. Droshky . You cannot take too many cloaks & shawls - the waiters are generally slow & the Landlords for the most part greedy. The Beds as a general rule are clean tho' the sheets are often damp if the chambermaids be not well looked after - you may be always sure of good eggs & good milk. & the tea is better than the coffee -'. The text continues with more information concerning inns and food before turning to the weather the 'simple rule' regarding which is 'that if during breakfast the mists rise on the mountain side it will be a fair day if they fall a wet one. Put no confidence in Lowland prognostics even in the landlord respecting the weather . In short always suspect the sincerity of a highland Landlord in an inferior Inn in a well frequented road'. The document ends: 'Andersons is the best guide Book - it has a capital map & much curious information - legends &cc.' Without place or date. [ On paper watermarked 'R MUNN & Co | 1838'. ] unknown

Addressed on reverse of second leaf with remains of red wax seal and postmark to 'Mr. John Ward Park Lane Lightmoor Near Shiffnall Shropshire L B.' Docketed: 'Particulars as to income &c &c'.

Nevertheless he fears that nothing can be done regarding Ward's 'noble offer'. He presents in columns headed 'Yearly Income' and 'Yearly Expenditure' 'as correct a statement' as he can give: 'We have a good Chapel which will seat about five hundred persons two small houses a stable and a piece of ground let for building situated in the best part of the town.' He continues with reference to 'the collections' an 'application for a larger grant from Conference' the fact that 'a considerable number of our people have been in a state of great poverty' 'the income of our Circuit' 'poor Scotch stations' weavers 'the Trustees 'Captain Howie' 'letting public money go into the hands of poor men' the fact that 'the Episcopalians wanted the Chapel' 'the President'.

Each ad is accompanied with an engraved sailing ship. The letter is addressed to Messrs. Davidson & Syme Charlotte Street Edinburgh and franked also with a stamped 24 Oct 1834.
