Remark On Orthog [Orthography] 7. Sheets of 7B
1. In Some Cases only a Single Authority
Could be obtained for names - This Could
not be avoided in this County.
2. In some instances where two or three
different modes of spelling the Same
are given, that which I consider the
best authority has been used as final by me.
3. Mr. McHaffie's name will appear very
often as authority and as used by me
in preference to most other authorities
He is recommended by the Whole County
as The very best person to whom I could
apply. WD Gossett Lt RE [Lieutenant Royal Engineers]
