_Walter Grossett to the Lord Justice Clerk_
MY LORD,--Agreeable to what your Lordship recommended to me with
respect to what Brigd^r Price acquainted His Grace the Duke
of Newcastle in his Letter of the 16^{th} Instant, that Corns
bought at Wooler was according to his Intelligence, carried
Westwards between Stirling and Dunbarton etc. I immediatly set
out for Stirling and from that went across the Country towards
Dunbarton and Glasgow and from thence by the Banks of the River
Clyde to this place. Upon my arrival here I found along with Sir
John Schaw, Mr. Hammilton who has the Commission from keeping
out the Irish Corns from this Country and who agreeable to your
directions to Sir John Schaw, had Just come there from a Survey
he had made along the Coast of Galloway, to prevent the Rebels
from getting Supply from that part of the Country and from what
Mr. Hamilton tells me and I have otherwise Informed my self off I
can now assure your Lordship that if Corns have been carried from
Wooler Westward, no part of these Corns have been carried to the
Rebels, and that they have not been supplyed with Provisions of
any sort from this part of the Country. I thought it my Duty to
take the first opportunity to acquaint your Lordship of this, and
shall without fail be with you again on Munday to receive your
further commands. Till then I beg to be allowed the Honour to
remain with the greatest respect and Esteem etc.
