I received from the Hands of the
Right Reverend Bishop Keith in
the Canongate a Copy of the Narra-
tive
of CapnCaptain Wood’s Conversion,
from which I made out the proceed-
ing
Transcript. I asked at Bishop
Keith
, if he could inform me who
the Clergyman was, that he had con-
verted
CapnCaptain Wood, to which he
answered, that he had Reason
to assure me, that Bishop Gor-
don
was the Clergyman. —This
is the same Mr Gordon mention-
ed
by My Lord Balmerino in his
Speech, Vol: 1 pag: 111. Mr Gordon is
