                               Knarsdale, March 10th 1772
Dear Sir,
         At our last Meeting I observed some fresh Certifi-
cates given in for Losses sustained by the late Inundation.
I cannot answer for the Form of the inclosed {Certificate} but know
the Contents to be true; must therefore desire the favour
of you to communicate it to the Committee at their
next Meeting, and to assist the poor Man in getting some
Satisfaction for his Loss; which tho' trifling in the main,
I believe, is very hard upon him at present, being
near one half of all he had in the World. - I am Sir
with due Respects
                                Yr
                                most obd & hble Servt
                                        J Railton
              Mr {?}
                            {?}
