No family relationship is likely between the Clarkes and
the Davidsons. The inclusion of G. Davidson here is solely
on account of his letter.
How it came to be in the Clarke archives is unknown, other than
that it was so at least from the time of A.S.Clarke.
Before 1794.
One source states that George
Davidson was a local representative of the bank at Huntly. William Reid
was his counterpart in Banff.
This is a 'complete' letter on a sheet 38 x 23 cm.
