| Description | Letter addressed to James Riddel: "Sir, in reply to your letter of the 19 inst, intimating that the interest of all moneys in the hands of the Master of Shoreworks shall be at the rate of four per cent from the 10 December next, I beg to mention that there are at present two competition bursaries payable from the interest of the £603 in the Shoremaster's hands, belonging to Stuart's Mortification of King's College, and as the bursars have yet two years bursaries to receive, I expect that the Trustees for the Harbour will allow five per cent on that sum of £603 for two years at least from 20 June last. I am Sir, your obedient servant, David Hutcheon." |
