Dear Captn [Captain] Macpherson
It is a mistaKe
to call the village of Loch
Carron Jeantown.
No such name is Known
to the Post office.
It is a nickname wh. [which] was
given about 60 years
ago. The county have
ordered it to be erased
& it has been erased from
the mile stones & the
proper name Loch Carron
substituted. It has
found its way into the
modern

BooK. But that will
be corrected.
There is inconvenience
in any name for the
Village but the proper
name used by the Post Office
It is erroneously used on the tracing you
have sent me - & I
observe some other slight
mistakes wh [which] can be
corrected when I have the
pleasure of seeing you.
But as to the name
Loch Carron, I hope you
will Kindly prevent the
erroneous name of Jeantown
being used
Yrs [Yours] sincerely
