Entire 1839 Glasgow to Rothesay with Glasgow Paid town mark boxed in red dated 15 FE 1839. The letter is very sweet, a letter from a little girl to her grandpapa written in quite beautiful writing (letter is grubby, looks like it has been read many times!). My children will never write that neatly! The child was one of the children of James McClelland, one of the founders, and first President of IAAG. Mary Ann, born in 1830, died in 1869 and is buried alongside her father and grandpapa in Glasgow necropolis. A wonderful piece of social history -
