Murdock asks for information about a Father Thomas Carlisle. That priest had left Scotland about 1856 or 1857 and went to New York to ask for money from Father William McClellan in order to visit his relatives in Michigan. A report has reached Scotland that Carlisle is dead. As Carlisle had his life insured for 400 pounds and had assigned his policy to a clergyman of Scotland, who has been paying the duty and premium upon it, it is very important to ascertain if that priest is dead or alive. A note in the hand of Lefevere says that he has given an answer for the 2nd time on Jan. 20, 1860. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
