19018Neither place nor date stated c. 1824. On two pieces of paper one roughly 9.5 x 17.5 cm and the other 2.5 x 13.5 cm laid down on a piece of grey card. Note on card in a nineteenth-century hand: 'Colonel John Macdonald's writing -'. In fair condition on aged paper on good strong card. The notes were apparently intended to accompany a plan the words 'An Elevation of' being scored through at the beginning of the heading as is a five-line passage beginning 'No 1'. Beneath this deleted passage is a nine-line expanded version of it beginning: 'No 1 proving insufficient as to strength and light Mr. Winstanley constructed this Building incorporating the former .'. The four-line passage on the smaller piece of paper concerns Smeaton's third lighthouse constructed 'on the principle of an Oak Tree' and said to have 'now stood firm during 126 years'. The dating is clearly mistaken with MacDonald probably calculating from 1698 the date of the completion of Winstanley's lighthouse. Neither place nor date stated [ c. 1824?]. unknown
