Sir,
The inclosed papers, with another parcel, containing sundry miscellaneous letters and papers, I commit to you; requesting they may be transmitted to Principal Baird, and the Rev. Mr Jones, to do with them as they may find proper. The little emoluments which may arise from them, I am persuaded they will give to Binning who attended me.
My watch and my clothes, and any little effects I may leave behind me, I request them to be given to Mr James Stalker, at Mr Wilson’s, baker in Cross-causeway, to whom I owe money per bill; and to whom I gave a disposition to these, and other effects, before my condemnation. I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obed. humble Servant,
(Signed) Rob. Watt.
