Dated 24 May 1861 and may be from Southampton

It is marked Copy

My dear General
Sir Henry James
requests me to inform
you that he has received
your letter of the 22nd
May & that due ?????
will be given to your
information
(2 indecipherable words)
yours truly
Ady Scott ( I think that is the signatory but not clear)

There is another page - may have been written on back of letter or an attachment perhaps. This replicates (may be the origin of) information of sheets concerning Yieldshields.

Text is

Index to Charters granted by the
different sovereigns of Scotland
by William Robertson Esq[ui]r[e]
Edinburgh (printed 1798)

Overwritten on the note someone has described William Robertson as "one of the Deputies of the Lord Clerk Register for keeping the records of Scotland"

Extract from page 24

Robert 1st
------------to John de Moufode
of the lands of Braidwood and
Zuleshiells*, with the lands of
Hevedis in vic de--------Lanark

*In the Index to the book itself
this is spelt Yuleshiells.

N.B. in the old maps & in the
statistical accounts of Scotland, the
above place is erroneously spelt
Yieldshields & Guildshields
