James McCrone[JM] had been appointed Crown Agent - the vast majority of his letters were to Alexander Milne[AM] at the Office 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.

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