Alexr. Jaffray to Mr. Archibald Grant of
Monymusk, Advocat, Ed1
Respected Friend, I have been here this two days w1
Cap* Grant and wee have marked out a line for inclosing
two sides of the moore of Tombegg, viz. a line along the
head of the long bank runing west from the town of the
Mains towards Damhead, cuting the first centerall line att
right angles. This line is south of the corn land so far as
to leav not only a suficient highway but space for the
tennants to driv on wl their cattel, in the midle of which
line is drawn a sweep to place the entrie of ye Park in.
Secondly, a line upon the east end of this as near the Mains
as is convenient runing south att right angles with the
first. Wee have not determined how far south the one or
west the other shall run in regard the moore is large and
thou may order the extent afterwards. This meantime
will imploy the carts att intervalls from other,work.
I understand by a letter Cap* Grant has just now recevd
yt on waits me from thy own hand, which when I receiv
I may be capable of inlarging further as to massonrie, so
concludes
wl my good wishes most respectfuly,
Thy friend to my power,
Alex1: Jaffray.
