Kirk Patrick 28 October 1762 - John Callin

 

Dear Sir

 

Enclosed you have Pat Ewing’s inventory given in by Mr Cubon as also Mr Callin’s claim and the order thereon with his account which is to be recorded. He desires that the claim may be only seven hundred pound the thousand left out as he says he desired his claim might only be for seven hundred as per letter to you

 

I immediately sent away what you enclosed to me to Messrs Moore & Christian and also desired that Mr Christian would favour us with his translation of the Christian Monitor but have yet received no answer. I am with complements to your good woman dear sir

Your affectionate friend & brother Robert Radcliff

 

October 28th 1762
