-ly the point where the pole is erected
is a foot lower than the point further north marked
2197 - & hence the proprietor whose land is in
Lintrathen parish maintains his right to run
up to the latter point. The Royal Engineers
do not seem to have been of this opinion, for
you will observe on looking at the sheet that they
do not bring Lintrathen nearer the point 2197 than
the point marked A on the above sketch opposite it, and from that point
they take the line round by the pole at 2196 & from
that to the old Cairn & so back to the point 2197.
If you could kindly inform me yourself,
or through the officer who made the survey, the
grounds upon which the line was so drawn (cor-
-rectly as I maintain) I think it might enable
a settlement to be made. The Marches of the
Estates must follow the boundaries of the parishes,
and if as I suppose the Engineers found it ne-
cessary to get round to the old Cairn as one of the
points in the boundaries I think a statement to that
effect, or an explanation of the reason why the point
2196 was fixed on as the top of the Hill, might prove
satisfactory. Awaiting the favour of your re-
-ply.
I am Sir
your obt servt [obedient servant]
