réf. 13984Tynron Cottage Thornhill Dumfries and Galloway Scotland. 4 January 1801. 1p. foolscap 8vo. In fair condition on lightly-aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with red ink postmark and broken black wax seal to 'David Williamson Esqr Advocate George's Square Edinh'. There is no indication in the letter that the two men are kinsmen. 'My Dear Sir I am happy to inform you that the ship called the Nevis Planter sails from Liverpool for St. Kitts on the 12th. Inst - with your approbation I propose sailing with her - Mr. Wilson mentioned to me that he wrote you 10 days ago requesting power to draw upon you for a sum to defray my expences your answer was expected to be here 4 days ago but as it has not arrived I presume Mr. W. may draw upon you - theres no time for delay.' If he cannot get a boat from Dumfries to Liverpool he will take a coach: 'its a mere trifle from Carlisle'. He has 'got a case with bottles' and would like 'to take a few Gallons of Whisky out with me the Idea of it is ten times more than the worth Thinking that you would not refuse me such a small request I have presumed to take it & have sent it off with 6 Gall:' He concludes by asking him to write to Wilson upon receipt of the letter: 'we shall have it here on Tuesday or probably Sunday'. Williamson was certainly in the West Indies in 1805 when his son also John was born to Jane Russell in Blackdam. John Williamson the younger died in Jamaica in 1850.

réf. 14053Tibbermore near Perth Scotland. 16 December 1830. 4pp. 4to. Bifolium with the last page of text cross-written over the first and the valediction and signature cross-written over the second. In fair condition on aged paper with short closed tears along crease lines of the second page. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with red wax seal and postmarks to 'John Inglis Esq Balliol College Oxford' and redirected to 'Loganbank'. Neatly and closely written in a somewhat difficult hand made worse by the cross-writing the letter begins: 'Having never heard a word about you my dearest Johnny since the morning you left this in J Lindsays Gig I began to feel a kind of ignorant impertinence to know something of your movements at Oxford if you are in the way of getting a prize this year'. The rest of the letter is filled with family news of which the following is a sample: 'Mary has been inviting Meg to pay her a visit in Maitland St but her going depends entirely on Papa continuing to improve in the first place she goes to St Andrews with John to visit the Cooks and will probably proceed from thence to Edinh. if all things go smoothly. I trust Papa will not prevent her as a change to a town is certainly agreeable in Winter.' The ODNB sketches out Inglis's education: 'He went to Edinburgh high school and then to the University of Glasgow. From there he proceeded in November 1828 to Balliol College Oxford as a Snell exhibitioner. He graduated BA in 1833 and MA in 1837 and was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates in July 1835.'

réf. 19151Stanford Lincolnshire . 18 August 1865. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In good condition with traces of mount along one edge of verso of last leaf. Being away from home and his papers he cannot answer all the recipient's questions but 'it will be enough if I say that I shall not require an Organ & that the Illustrations to my lecture would or might be made to consist exclusively of unaccompanied vocal music mostly English. The effect of some pieces might be increased by being performed chorally - say with three or four good voices to a part but they will all admit of performance by one voice to a part'. He assumes that St Andrew's Hall 'can hardly be worse adapted for speaking in than the room in which I lecture sometimes at Edinburgh which is cruciform & holds 2500 people'. He comments on the practice of lecturing before concluding with the suggestion that 'all the Illustrations might be very safely left to the Cathedral Choir'. Stanford [ Lincolnshire ]. 18 August 1865. unknown

He sends her belated thanks for her 'kind compliance with Mrs. Caird's request'. His wife has been very ill since he received her letter but he believes that 'the critical stage of the disease is fairly over; & besides her illness the death of an old servant has left me little time to attend to other engagements'. Mrs Caird is 'much gratified' that Marshall is 'to share in management of her stall'. The letter concludes: 'The other ladies will correspond with you in due time as to particular arrangements.' Caird's wife whom he married in 1858 was born Isabella Glover. On letterhead of The University, Glasgow. 14 March [no year]. unknown
