Description:
A handwritten receipt signed by Alexander McDonald, Catochist in the Parish of Suinort. The receipt acknowledges that McDonald has received the sum of seven pounds ten shillings from the Committee of the Assembly for the Reformation of the Highlands and Islands "in the name and upon the Account of Mr. Archibald Campbell Catochist in the parish of Ardnamurchan as his second half yearly Salary". McDonald notes that Archibald will send his own receipt to the Committee before the first day of May. If this receipt fails to be received, McDonald acknowledges that the sum will have to be repealed and paid back. Below McDonald's note, Mr John Dundas, Cashier of the Committee, has written a second, brief note acknowledging the payment. Dundas and McDonald have both signed the paper. The Committee was formed in 1725 with the support and financial backing of King George I initially, and was carried on by King George II, in an effort to spread Protestantism in the Highlands and Islands. This receipt is part of a larger collection of papers grouped together under La.II.484, described in the Laing Handlist as a "Collection of Receipts for Salaries, by Catechists, Missionaries, and others employed in the Highlands and Islands, with some Minutes of Committees on the same".
