Sunday, 6th October 1745.
No sermon in the churches. Sent the Earl of Breadalbane
the key of his little cabinet which lay by me seald since he fell
ill, I say sent it seald to his lordship by his servant Allick. I
was not abroad all this day.

I wrote to Auchallader telling I could not get his cloaths out
of his taylors hands. Paid Jock 10 shillings, which with 6
shillings formerly is in full for going last time to Breadalbane,
having gone the length of Tyndrom, and on his return 8 miles
above Stirling, and besides freighting a yole in going, and got
nothing while he continued in the countrey.

Calld for Lochiel about the letters deliverd me by Mr. John
M‘Farlane to General Guest, about Fassiefern’s1 imprisonment
at Fort William, but miss’d Lochiel. Went to the Coffee
house and read the news. On my way home met the accomp-
tant and Robert Selkrig, teller, who came alongs, and I got the
latter to sort all the Royal Bank notes I had got from Mr.
Lumisdean in order to be ready for cancelling, and that being
done lodged these notes back in their proper place. Dined at
home solus. Had a message from Lochiel about the letters to
General Guest, but could give him no answer other than that
I deliverd them to the General as directed. Evening spent in
making further progress in my minutes of Bank affairs.

sign’d, and inclosed them in a letter which was sent by my ser¬
vant Allick, to Mr. Andrew Lumisdean at the Abbey, who pro¬
mised to return them to me discharged very soon. Came home
