Crown Agent Letter Book 2 -1835-1837

James McCrone[JM] had been appointed Crown Agent - the vast majority of his letters were to Alexander Milne[AM] at the Department of Woods & Forests at Westminster (these are those with blank Author & Recipient in the index); unlike the Lt Governor's letter books he did not copy received letters into the book except for a single example thus only one side of a conversation is shown here.

The description under Topic are those entered at the head of each letter, presumeably by McCrone for ease of reference though no such headings were used in vol 1 of these letters. Page numbers from page 12 onwards are added in a later hand.

Those selected for transcription tend to be those that relate to subjects I am currently researching.
