The Bearer is one of theX Seven
Lads that preserved our Master under
God Almighty for the space of five
or six Weeks in the most dange-
rous times he met with, and it
gives me unexpressable pain to
think that poor lads of soeso great
Honour Should now Suffer by po-
verty till they happen to see him
again, Therefore I presume to
offer you the trouble knowing it
will be rather a pleasure to you
to ImployEmploy proper agents for him
to See what Collections can be
made for him to preserve him for
a short time from starving for he
never was brought up to any work,
He will tell you the whole histo-
ry himself if you have an Inter-preter.
preter which you may rely upon his
veracity his name is Patrick Grant
from Glenmoristone and if any
doubts him to be an Imposter
they may be fully satisfied of the
truth of what I write fromGlen
the Laird of Glenmoriston or any
Gentleman in that Country, for
I should be sorry to impose upon
honest men and I remain unal-
terable
