Gentlemen
Being a native of, & resident in this
parish for the last 68 years, & 42 of
these Minister of the parish, while
my Father before me was 56 years Minr [Minister]
of it, the first Stat. [Statistical] account of the pa-
-rish having been written by him, & the
last one by myself, I am naturally
enough desirous there should be no
mistake in the getting up of the Orde-
nance Survey Map of the parish, of
which you are the Agents. & first
of all I would beg to furnish you
with the names of the several farm-
steadings, & other places within the
parish as a Guide to how they were
originally named & spelt, so far as
can be traced, but some of which, in
the course of years, have been grossly
corrupted. To begin with
Hounam (the village)
