"I enclose a tradition connected with the murder of SergeantDavies, which my brother picked up lately before he had read thestory in your Cock Lane. He had heard of the event before, both inAthole and Braemar, and it was this that made him ask the old lady(see next letter) about it."He thinks that Glenconie of your version (p. 256) must beGlenclunie, into which Allt Chriostaidh falls. He also suggeststhat the person who was chased by the murderers may have got up theghost, in order to shift the odium of tale-bearing to othershoulders. The fact of being mixed up in the affair lends somesupport to the story here related."Here follows my friend's brother's narrative, the name of the witnessbeing suppressed.
