Copy of a Repre^sen[]tation in Fa-
vours of the said John MacKin-
non before his leaving Edr.Edinburgh
Leith, June 13. 1761.
Whereas John MacKinnon from
the Isle of Sky, afflicted with a Lame-
ness from the Tops of the Thighs down,
has been ^in the Infirmary for several
Months past, &and that now it is a de-
clared Opinion, Nothing can be of any
Avail to him on this Side the Bath;
&and whereas the said John MacKinnon
is in very necessitous Circumstances,
with the additional Burden of a
Wife &and four Children in Sky, it
is therefore humbly hoped, that those,
who look upon this, will have ^a com-
passionate Feeling for this Gentle-
man in Distress &and Indigence, &and
thereby be induced to contribute
somewhat in order to defray his
Charges in going to Bath; espe-
cially as he is worthy, for whom
this is asked: And may God re-
ward the Givers.
