Description
An account of the resource
Copy of a part of a letter from Francis White to the prefect of the Scottish mission, Alexander Winster. The missionary writes that he is exhausted from the work he has to do. White states that it was hard even when there were still four other priests to help him, but now it is almost impossible. Especially because he converted so many, and the number of people inclined to receive instruction, and the sacraments is increasing every day. Against his wishes, he gave up conversions because he can hardly assist those he already converted every two years. He is in great need of help from "the many friends in Rome" and asks the prefect to help. The copy is dated 13 March 1664.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Francis White to PF. He writes to have received 25 scudi from William Lesley, sent to him by PF. He has served in the mission for 14 years (orginally sent by CM), and in this period at least 14 parishes have been converted to Catholicism; White notes that if he had had any companions, all parishes would have been converted. He describes the opposition of the Protestant ministers, the need for other priests (especially for his brother John White), the fact that he can only go to confession once a year (despite needing to say mass every day), the poverty in the mountains, and the difficult circumstances under which he has to live. The letter is dated 27 June 1665.
Date discussed, 1665-11-09
Additional comments
We are not sure about the modern equivalent of the place name given in the letter (Achdrom).

Description
An account of the resource
Copy of a letter from Francis White [to William Lesley?]. He writes that he has visited [Alexander] Winster, whom he had not seen for four years. He went a very long way in order to ask Winster for the things needed for his very poor mission. Winster himself came to see White the previous autumn [1666] but did not find him, as White was far away on the islands and had fallen ill. White writes that whilst Winster had assisted him financially, the need for more missionaries is even more urgent than before. The promised help has not yet arrived, but the vastness of the area and the amount of converts, would provide enough work for twelve priests. Missionaries are also needed because, while there is great faith in God in this region, the people know nothing about the Catholic faith. They abhor the Protestant ministers, but there are no Catholic priests to replace them. White also writes that the superior [René Alméras] of his brother [John White] will send the latter to Scotland, only if [William Lesley] convinces the PF to write to Alméras and the nuncio to France on this matter. White furthermore asks that [William Lesley] convince PF to send money for books and approximately one thousand rosaries and other similar things. The letter is dated 29 April 1667, but it was received in Rome in 1668.
Date received 1668
Additional comments
Although the addressee is not mentioned explicitly, it is very likely to be William Lesley. This is because Francis White talks about the addressee's task of convincing PF of certain needs of the Scottish mission. This was precisely the task of the procurator of that mission in Rome, namely William Lesley.

Description
An account of the resource
Copy of a letter from Francis White [to William Lesley?]. He has not received any answer to his letter dated March 1667, and he states that no missionary has come to help him. [Alexander] Winster had written to him that he was sure that his brother [John White] would come, but now, White writes that [René] Alméras does not want him to go, although White is certain that his brother would be very happy to do so. He [either Winster or Alméras] wrote to White that two Franciscans were coming to help him, but they have not arrived yet, and they have not written to [Alexander] Winster either. White proposes that PF write to some prelate in Ireland or to his brother, Edmondo Bianchi [Edmond White], vicar apostolic in Limerick; the latter would certainly be able to send some good clerics. In this way they could avoid relying on priests who never behave like secular ones, but instead have their own "particular practices." The letter dated 1 January 1668.
Additional comments
Although the addressee is not mentioned explicitly, it is very likely that it is William Lesley, since the format of this copy is the same as that of other copies of letters sent to William Lesley.
