Regarding Captain Donald Cameron

From the Archibald McMillan and family fonds : H-1099 (Image 251 and 252):

Montreal

10th September 1807

My Dear Sir

I had the pleasure of writing to you on the 17th ulto to which please be referred--I am sorry to have to advise at this time that the bill for L 550 (550 pounds) drawn upon Captain Cameron upon which I am indorser was protested for non acceptance in London and will returned here for payment at maturity the provision made for taking it up having been too late and in part defective.  As I wrote to you before I am not likely ultimately to be a sufferer in this transaction but in the first instance I must make provision for retiring it on its return and it's unfortunately in the hands of a person from whom no indulgence? can be expected. This being the case may I beg of you to convert into cash the small shipments I made to you and remit the proceeds after deducting commission and charges--Pray do you think I should send you down two pipes more of the Madira could you get a ready market for them -- The small keg shrub I mentioned to have sent you in a former letter was sent onboard the ship Augustin.

If you should have occasion to ship anything for me hereafter let me beg of you never to employ Starns who has used me ill the last time and before -- The chest drawers was entirely injured and the former article was much embezzled, not content with that the Gentleman was disposed to be impertinent.

There are from 50 to 60 of the settlers intended for the Grand River in this city and its vicinity, the chief part of whom are enrolled in the companies of militia most contiguous to them-. Some of them can neither talk French or English by which they find themselves awkwardly situated and they think they would have a better opportunity of manifesting their zeal and loyality to government should occasion require them in service by being enrolled in one company of with officers of their own number and they have applied to me in order to make their wish be known to his honor the President whose sentiments upon the subject I hope you will learn and let me known.

I hope by this time the tedious business of Granville is about being finished its long delay will I am afraid keep back the ___ this fall yet with usual best wishes believe me.  Dr Sir yours since

John Munro Esq.

Mary, Daughter Of Cameron Of Callart

The exact wording of the traditional tale is not significant in this case. The gist is as
follows:

Mary, daughter of Cameron of Callart sometime in the 17th century, was enamoured of a
son of MacConnochie of Inverawe. This and her generosity to the poor did not please her
father who locked her in a garret. Meanwhile a trading vessel brought the plague to the
family and all but the isolated Mary died. [Source]
