RAMSAY (Alexander, 1822-1909, Writer & Agriculturalist, from 1847 Editor of the Banffshire Journal)

Autograph Letter Signed to 'Dear Tiffin', saying he finds that "we shall have to use Goldsmiths' Hall before the Beer subjects", asking him to "leave them, therefore, and make with all possible speed two drawings ... an exterior and an interior of some part ... the great room where they give feasts would be best I think. We must have the blocks home here by Saturday week", with a P.S. saying "I got home last night soon after 11, as hot as if I had rowed for the first of August coat and badge. Eight miles is a pretty decent pull. Platt reached home about the same time. Bowman had only to saunter to do his task comfortably", 2 sides 8vo., no place, 3rd August

With early pencil notes identifying Platt as the "Editor of the Companion to the British Almanac, &c. &c", and Bowman as "Editor of the Penny Cyclopedia".
