19927Ayr Scotland . 31 August 1837. The Hudson Memorial Church in Bangalore founded in 1904 commemorates Hudson's work at he Wesleyan Mission Canarse Chapel. The present item dating from an earlier part of Hudson's career casts an interesting light on the practicalities of religious administration in Scotland in the Georgian period. 3pp. 4to. Bifolium. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with remains of red wax seal and postmark to 'Mr. John Ward Park Lane Lightmoor Near Shiffnall Shropshire L B.' Docketed: 'Particulars as to income &c &c'. He has not been 'indifferent' to Ward's 'very trying affair'. Later in the letter he comments: 'Yours is not the only case of Scotch Chapels that has made my heart to bleed. … Methodism ought not to be carried on at the cost of such sacrifices as yours.' Nevertheless he fears that nothing can be done regarding Ward's 'noble offer'. He presents in columns headed 'Yearly Income' and 'Yearly Expenditure' 'as correct a statement' as he can give: 'We have a good Chapel which will seat about five hundred persons two small houses a stable and a piece of ground let for building situated in the best part of the town.' He continues with reference to 'the collections' an 'application for a larger grant from Conference' the fact that 'a considerable number of our people have been in a state of great poverty' 'the income of our Circuit' 'poor Scotch stations' weavers 'the Trustees 'Captain Howie' 'letting public money go into the hands of poor men' the fact that 'the Episcopalians wanted the Chapel' 'the President'.

Addressed on reverse of second leaf with red ink postmark and broken black wax seal to 'David Williamson Esqr Advocate George's Square Edinh'. There is no indication in the letter that the two men are kinsmen. 'My Dear Sir I am happy to inform you that the ship called the Nevis Planter sails from Liverpool for St. Kitts on the 12th. Inst - with your approbation I propose sailing with her - Mr. Wilson mentioned to me that he wrote you 10 days ago requesting power to draw upon you for a sum to defray my expences your answer was expected to be here 4 days ago but as it has not arrived I presume Mr. W. may draw upon you - theres no time for delay.' If he cannot get a boat from Dumfries to Liverpool he will take a coach: 'its a mere trifle from Carlisle'. He has 'got a case with bottles' and would like 'to take a few Gallons of Whisky out with me the Idea of it is ten times more than the worth Thinking that you would not refuse me such a small request I have presumed to take it & have sent it off with 6 Gall:' He concludes by asking him to write to Wilson upon receipt of the letter: 'we shall have it here on Tuesday or probably Sunday'. Williamson was certainly in the West Indies in 1805 when his son also John was born to Jane Russell in Blackdam. John Williamson the younger died in Jamaica in 1850.

14053Tibbermore near Perth Scotland. 16 December 1830. 4pp. 4to. Bifolium with the last page of text cross-written over the first and the valediction and signature cross-written over the second. In fair condition on aged paper with short closed tears along crease lines of the second page. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with red wax seal and postmarks to 'John Inglis Esq Balliol College Oxford' and redirected to 'Loganbank'. Neatly and closely written in a somewhat difficult hand made worse by the cross-writing the letter begins: 'Having never heard a word about you my dearest Johnny since the morning you left this in J Lindsays Gig I began to feel a kind of ignorant impertinence to know something of your movements at Oxford if you are in the way of getting a prize this year'. The rest of the letter is filled with family news of which the following is a sample: 'Mary has been inviting Meg to pay her a visit in Maitland St but her going depends entirely on Papa continuing to improve in the first place she goes to St Andrews with John to visit the Cooks and will probably proceed from thence to Edinh. if all things go smoothly. I trust Papa will not prevent her as a change to a town is certainly agreeable in Winter.' The ODNB sketches out Inglis's education: 'He went to Edinburgh high school and then to the University of Glasgow. From there he proceeded in November 1828 to Balliol College Oxford as a Snell exhibitioner. He graduated BA in 1833 and MA in 1837 and was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates in July 1835.'
