The letter contains references to Sir Ralph Abercromby, Sir Benjamin Dunbar, Lord McDonald, Lord Stonefield, the Duke of York, 'Mr. Geddes' and 'McGrigor'. It begins: 'Yesterday being Sunday I was prevented from doing any business, or leaving Town, before this day - I called on my friend Mr. Geddes to day, & communicated to him the reason of my absence from the Reg[imen]t. with my ideas respecting your Lordship spirited offer - He informed me that he did not hear of Sir Ralph Abercrombie's [sic] having received an answer to his letter on that subject, to the Duke of York; which he supposed would be owing to the Privy Counsel's [sic] taking sometime [sic] to deliberate thereon - previous to their giving an opinion - as Government was now making a distinction in the Levymoney granted to Colonels who are riseing [sic] new Fencible Corps'. I saw Mr John Campbell to day who heard nothing further, than what your Lordship already knows of, on the subject - | I would have called on Sir Ralph, to procure certain information for Your Lo[rdshi]p - did I not know of your aversion to appear sanguine in the affair'. He has made enquiry 'in all the Booksellers shops' for an English translation of a French pamphlet by , and for 'Capt. James of the York Militia's Publication on the emoluments arising from the Clothing of a Regiment', without success, and is ordering the first from London. 'I have procured & forwarded Your Lordship Picks collection of Marches &c - which I thought preferable to trusting to Mc.Grigor's Copying of a Set, as he is not fully master of it'. Postscript: 'Lord Stonefield is gone to England to see the Colonel - Airds is supposed to be in England by this time - His mother is I am sorry to find is [sic] very poorly at present AC'. Two regiments of the Breadalbane Fencibles had been raised in 1793, with a third battalion added a few months later. 2300 men were raised, of whom 1600 came from the Breadalbane estate.

He discusses 'the mode of & buildings' in 'the Braes of Lorn & Glenuchar'. 'The existing regulations in these districts are very diffective [sic] the Tenant being under no restraint whatever as to and the mode of computing the difficiency [sic] on homes & dykes is merely nominal, consequently a Tenant at removal ploughs up every patch that can be tilled, and is entitled to carry away the Whole Crop; and from the triffling [sic] difficiency [sic] he as to pay, leaves the buildings in bad repair, to the great disadvantage of an incoming Tenant'.

I mentioned to him that I did not think it would be your Lordship's pleasure, in the mean time to incur any great expense in opening new quarries, as there are a considerable quantity of Slates on hand at the Works, and that the quarries already opened would yield more Slates than there was any prospect would be in demand this year'.
