Letter from William Hunter Campbell to John Hutton Balfour dated 13 April 1836
Campbell writes: You will see there are alterations made by Greville and myself which I hope you will see as improvements. It occurred to me that we had lost sight of foreign correspondence in our prospects and the short addition I have made remedies that. Greville in his note [enclosed] says he does not see the use of printing the prospectus separate from the laws and in this case I would urge that, as there is plenty of room for it, the laws for the residents should be added and make the whole so complete as to render it a secondary consideration whether we printed entire copies or not. It would save us a great deal of trouble too, as we are likely to be often queried about the admission of Resident Members and the laws affecting them. An addition of three would suffice, or four if we include Associates. I have left them at my office but I will send them early to the Printing Office for your consideration as it would be good to have the whole completed before tomorrow’s meeting. Yours,etc.----
