  <dc:description>Letter requesting the Bishop to support his appointment as supervisor of the Canadian Highland emigration by writing on his behalf to Bishop Alexander MacDonell; gives figures to show the over-population in Moidart, Glenelg, Sleat, North Morar, the Isles and Knoydart so that many landless families should be assisted- even compelled- to go to Canada; stresses the benefit that would come if the planned, centrally-located chapel was built with community labour; praises the missionary activity of Rev Ranald Rankin</dc:description>
