      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".
