Copy of a letter from [Alexander Winster] to [William] Lesley. He states that he has written so much in his previous letters, that he has not much left to tell, until he receives a response; he has not received anything in two years. The attached letter to PF [which is not there anymore] should provide enough information. Winster wants to know whether Alessandro Iruino [Alexander Irvin] is to be counted among the missionaries, since he has no patent or recommandation. He complains about the need of money and the fact that the financial support always arrives too late. He furthermore writes that the Marquis of Huntly has gone to London, but will probably need to come back to Edinburgh. He also notes that all of his companions are doing well except for Marco Macdonel [Mark MacDonnell] who is still ill. He gave him the money he needed, as well as to Giovanni Irvino [John Iruin], and to the others in Edinburgh. The letter dated 4 April 1668.
