Sapper White.
Please find out if Peterhead
be a Municipal Burgh as
well as a Parliamentary?
If it be, try to get either a
Plan, or a written description
of it, so that we may show
the Municipal Boundary
on our plans. If the
2 Burghs be co-extensive
it will be a very good job.
The Town Clerk will know.

O.S. [Ordnance Survey] Peterhead
19th May 1868

Sir
I most respectfully beg
to state that I went to the
Town Clerk this day, and
asked him if the Burgh of
Peterhead was a Municipal
Burgh, and he says it is,
and the 2 Burghs* are co-
extensive. I asked him
for the plan but he is not
willing to give it, though he
has given me permission
to make a traceing of it,
which I intend doing tomorrow.
The only written document he has,
he gave me to copy - copy sent herewith.
