| Description | Letter dated 24 July 1874 to Macdonald from J.C. Hook, R.A., the Post Office, Muchalls, [Kincardineshire], regarding beginning work locally, having 'had some trouble to persuade the owner of this shop, the [Muchalls] P.O., to take us in, but we are now on trial for a fortnight so that I hope no one will rob the till in that time or we shall have to pack off no doubt as suspected strangers'. |
