In poor condition aged and worn at edges with one corner apparently nibbled away by mice.

As is his practice Russell has docketted the document in pencil: '1 June The Enclosure should be forwarded & I think that this document should be sent to the Bank of Scotland. The writer would appear to be deranged. R'. The first paragraph supports Russell's contention. Cleland asserts that he 'has been these Seven Years Brutally and Beastly abused no Horses no Cow in all the British dominons have been so kept since April 1832 He has not been permitted to enter a Bed but compelled to welter & Roll in his own polution sic by night and by day footnote reads 'by the Governor & Co. of the Bank of Scotland'. - that all this too by a Company with whom he never has had any action - by a Company that at a former period and with same manner have Rooted out and Extirpated from this World the whole Race Root & Branch to which he belonged and now that he is an Old man nor wealthy Friends nor relations nor any Human being in England that can afford him the smallest comfort nor assistance in distress neither is he able to labour for a subsistence'. The petition continues in the same vein. TWO: Autograph Letter Signed. 3pp. 4to. Bifolium. In better condition than Item One but also aged and worn.
