1 letter from William Hunter Campbell to John Hutton Balfour dated 16 March 1836.
Campbell writes: I have seen Graham and fears our meeting will be tomorrow if he has to leave as soon as he proposes. Surely a coach waiting for him at ten to two would get him in time for the funeral. If he must go sooner it will be necessary either to summon a new meeting for Saturday at the same time or request the attendance of members at 12 or 12.30 tomorrow which might be better if the classroom is free. I have to go to Leith and will rely on you to make the arrangements. Graham is particularly anxious to have W. Falconer of Carlowrie made a member and if possible a councillor for which I hold out hopes by the substitution of [Giles] Munby who you say is due to leave us in April: or why not have 5 councillors? Falconer has long held the same view. Let Graham know what you fix on for he is ready to assent to whatever is agreed. Greville also has a meeting at 2 tomorrow and to be deserted by the two best men would be disheartening unless you get through the business before they leave. Yours ,etc.--
