wadset bundle from a sutherland estate, with one sheet showing a clear substitution in the redemption clause.
Wadset papers tied to a Sutherland estate, dated 1664. One sheet shows a clear substitution in the redemption clause, where a short phrase has been replaced with a longer one in a hand that does not match the rest of the document. The substitution was flagged in the working notes before the client's question about it was opened.
