Scope and content

Plan for meeting at Fort William (where there is no post office) is abandoned and alternative suggested, e.g. Tarbet. Further request for cash. Jones (friend) went to Glasgow and William is now solo. On steamer trip, stayed one night at Tobermory and the next night went aground between Mull and Ulva, anchored all night: then Staffa and Iona and back to Oban, p.m. 7. Iona very curious: Fingal's cave very grand - whole island of basaltic columns. Taynuilt at head of Loch Etive.
