    item 5: Letter from Arch. McCallum addressed to his brother
    "William Mac Cormick / Puslinch / Lot 19th First Concession
    / near Galt / upper Canada / America", and dated
    Campbeltown [Argyll, Scotland], 3rd March 1843. Letter
    tells of the economic situation in and around Campbeltown
    which is forcing many to think of going to America (i.e.
    Canada), the author's suspicions about the discontentedness
    of Puslinch Township residents, and of John Clark (who was
    sitting in same room as author at time of writing) who was
    having hassles in obtaining rights to land in Puslinch
    Township due to the unreliability of his brother and of
    Norman Ramsey who settled around Galt [Norman Ramsay listed
    in Puslinch Twp. on 1851 Census] 2 pages, double sided.
    Document is very fragile and has come away at the creases,
    and portions are missing at time of accession. A note
    written by the compiler and found with the letter reads,
    "A delicate leter 1843 from his brother-in-law in scotland
    McCallum to my paternal great grandfather William in
    Puslinch, pleading for assistance for John Clark, my
    maternal great great grand-father who was having difficulty
    in getting title to his late brother James' land in
    Puslinch".
