late seventeenth-century letter from a tutor, with a postscript in a second hand and a small drawing in the lower margin.

Late seventeenth-century letter from a tutor based in Lochaber, dated 1689, with a postscript added in a clearly second hand and a small, faint drawing in the lower margin of the second leaf. The drawing has not been pressed flat by later restoration, which made it easier to read than expected.
