Letter to Charles Irving from Alexander Brand, Edinburgh 29th Dec 1763. “I received your letter to Mr Abercrombie which I delivered to him. Mr Brodie has had all your papers. Will meet tomorrow, that Mr B. May fully understand it.” “I have the pleasure to advise you of the safe arrival of all this years fleet. The last ship hardly left a cargo to another” “P.S. That unlucky affair of Leithhall’s makes a noise here to be more like murder than a DUEL. It’s thought the Bros will get trouble as being accessary”
