formerly belonging to Ninepipes be allotted to his sole surviving child, the posthumous Ellen, and it seems that justice and law require that this decision of Agents Monteith and Norris be set aside, and the land restored to the rightful heir, the child of the deceased Ninepipes.

These persons are now occupying [[insert]] and working [[/insert]] the land, house & building, the stock, implements etc of the late Ninepipes, while the widow and his child are poor and dependent.

Respectfully
