Now for WmWilliam Jack, &and your Queries. And in
AnswrAnswer to your 1st. Mr Shaw’s Name is Angus,
&and not Laughlan Shaw, as your Gentleman
very rightly told you. My Mistake proceed-
ed from my thinking upon one Laughlan
Shaw P.Presbyterian MnrMinister at Elgin. 2. William Jack
was transported to BarbadoesBarbados, where I sup-
pose he yet lives, his friends having got se-
veral Letters from ^him since his Transportation.

And, to make you quite happy as to this Point,
know that I have got the Original Letter
you seem to value so much, &and shall trans-
mitt it to you by the first sure Bearer;
for I don’t care to trust this hyrerhirer as
he is given to drink. I cannot learn the
Names of the Commanders of the Trans-
parts. ‘Tis possible Mr J. Falconar at
London may know them. 3. The Gentlemen
who promis’dpromised me particular Accounts of Lock-
hart, &andc have not yet been so good as their
Word; You may be sure ‘tis not my fault
4. The name of the CaptCaptain who told me of
the three Men hang’dhanged by CarCaroline. Scot is
(I think William) McKintosh CaptCaptain of the
Company of Militia rais’draised by the Town of
Inverness under LdLord Loudon’s Command: And
the Place where he told it, was in the House
of Earlsmiln where my LdLord Moray’s Cham-
berlain lives.
