Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from George Reid, R.S.A., 22 January 1881 Letter dated 22 January 1881 to Macdonald from George Reid, R.S.A., St. Luke's, Aberdeen, asking him to stop 'James Kerr's lame-legged son' from shooting 'those wretched half-starved birds … If you don't do something to stop this sort of game I shall take the law into my own hands and heuk his gun over his head!', followed by a plea on the birds' behalf, hopes that [George Washington] Wilson photographed the Millais portrait well, with note on end from Macdonald: 'This is G.R. posing as a Prig, as if my wife had not cherished the birdies too 18 years, and made the place a haven of refuge, to the annoyance of all our neighbours'. 1881
