To all whom it may concern
these are declaring, that John MacKinnon
is now discharged out of the Infirmary,
where he has been for upwards of six
Months, &and is preparing to go to Bath,
the only Method of Cure, under God,
for his Lameness in Thighs, Legs &and
Feet; &and that, as this same poor,
distressed Gentleman had the Inte-
grity of Heart &and Greatness of Soul
to despise thirty thousand
Pounds sterling, so it is hoped,
some will be moved with a com-
passionate Feeling for such dis-
tinguished Merit in Affliction &and
Indigence, to give somewhat for
defraying his Charges in going to
Bath; &and may God reward them.
Besides, Mr MacKinnon has a
Wife &and four Children in yethe Isle of Sky.
