Having received His Royal Highness the Dukes Orders to Apply to Lord Justice Clerk for his Assistance in providing Carriages or other Conveyances for the Cloathing of Majr General Wolfe’s Regimt from Leith to Perth. I have Complied with the Above Order this 13 July 1746.
Wm. Dickson.
Lieut in Genl Wolfe’s Regimt.
Would you have the Cloathing carried by Sea or Land?
A. F.
If the Conveyance by Water all the Way to Perth is not uncertain in point of time, it is the most easy and less expensive Method; but if the time of making the passage is uncertain, I must of necessity take the Means of Carriages by Land from Kinghorn.
