Ordnance Survey Office
Dumfries 26th May 1853.
Sir,
I returned from Gatehouse last night. On my way back I called on Mr. Maxwell of Munches and found him exceedingly courteous. He talked with me about the Survey for nearly an hour and seemed decidedly favourable to it and said he knew of no errors to refer me to. I shewed him the Gatehouse Sheet &c. In reference to the question about errors he mentioned that he had heard Mr. Muir Writer &c Kirkcudbright say that some names were incorrect - probably only supposed incorrect by Mr. Muir -
Mr. Maxwell said that if you would send him a Sheet or two of his neighbourhood he would gladly examine the names and return the Sheets with any remarks he might have to offer - he also said that he would be glad to have a small index showing the parts contoured and published. The
