| Description | Roderick MacLeod, King's College, Aberdeen to Alexander Macallister of Strathaird (sent via Sconser). Studies in Aberdeen of McAllister's son have had to be terminated meantime as he has been summoned to Militia service in Inverness by Sir James Grant and lessons with Mr. McLachlan on book-keeping and other subjects might be resumed later. MacLeod trusts sums spent on boy's behalf are approved and hopes establishment of Macallister's system of feuing will at least alter emigration. |
