    N. Barclay letters to Forbes Barclay

    Manuscripts

    These are two manuscript letters, written to Forbes Barclay by an unidentified "N. Barclay". HM 16940 features vertical and horizontal cross-hatch writing concerning business and personal details, and is dated May 22, 1840. HM 16941, which appears to be written in a diary format, discusses details of shipping and various social engagements, and is dated July 29-August 2, 1840, and is incomplete and damaged; the pages are numbered 17-20. These letters seem to be detailed updates of business and personal affairs of various individuals for the benefit of Forbes Barclay, who is, at this time, in absentia from his Scotland home.
