To the Right Honourable Lord William McLean, Torloisk
Dear Sir,
I am desirous of taking a short lease of a small grazing farm, capable of carrying from 500 to 1000 sheep, situated on the coast, or on the shore of one of the Lochs of the Heath Highlands, and would prefer one with a very good house or steading

or situated in a distinct where a good house could be got.
If you have any farm or farms of about this size to let or lease I will be glad to hear from you with particulars as to locality, present number of cattle on farm that would require to be taken over, the number of sheep the farm will carry and the rent etc.
Yours Truly, Hugh Smith
