Best.-Nr. 12560Scotland and England; 1796 and 1797. The background to the collection is simply stated. On the death of the 15th Earl of Glencairn in 1796 the title became dormant. It was claimed by Fergusson praised by Boswell but dismissed by Johnson as 'a vile Whig' and derided by Burns as 'aith-detesting chaste Kilkerran' as heir of the line of the 10th Earl. Fergusson's claim was opposed by Sir Walter Montgomery Cunningham of Corshill as presumed heir male along with Lady Henriet Don sister of the 15th Earl and wife of Sir Alexander Don of Newton Don Roxburghshire. On 14 July 1797 the House of Lords Committee of Privileges chaired by the Lord Chancellor Lord Rosslyn took a view unfavourable to all the claimants and adjudged that while Sir Adam Fergusson had shown himself to be the heir-general of the 10th Earl he had not made out his right to the title.

The House of Lords Committee of Privileges on 14 July 1797 chaired by the Lord Chancellor Lord Rosslyn in deciding the claim of the first-named took a view unfavourable to all the claimants and adjudged that while Sir Adam Fergusson had shown himself to be the heir-general of Alexander 10th Earl of Glencairn who died in 1670 he had not made out his right to the title.

Best.-Nr. 20719No place Dublin. 12 November 1846. 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Two days before the writing of this letter the London Gazette had announced 10 November 1846 that Napier then Deputy Adjutant-General in Ireland had been promoted to Lieutenant General. The letter in which he writes to his Commander in Chief in Ireland is headed 'Private'. It begins: 'My Dear Sir Edward As I grieve to think that our Official intercourse is of necessity about to terminate I hope you will allow me to take this mode of returning you my warmest thanks for all the kindness I have experienced from you since I came to the Royal Hospital'. Both men had been severely injured during the Peninsular War – Blakeney in 1811 and 1812 and Napier in 1813 – and presumably had met at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. He can 'with truth and sincerity say that the period I have served with you here has been by far the happiest during the whole of my Military Career'. He states: 'I quit my present position on Promotion' but feels certain that Blakeney approves of the manner in which he has conducted the duties of his department. He has 'no right to expect' that he will 'be employed at once upon the Staff' but adds: 'I trust my time may come & when it does I sincerely hope it may be under your Command & the more immediate the better I should like it'. No place (Dublin?). 12 November 1846. unknown
