A letter to his Aunt Harriet RIGGALL (1858-1916) on the letterheading of the Aberdeen C. O. D. Laundry. Part 1 is dated 15 December 1890:
"Dear Aunt:
In writing you I retrospect and review the summer that has past and cherish the memory of the happy hours that we indulged our pleasures. Since your departure we have left the Garden House, and are now at the old post again, except Aunt Betsey, she is with cousin Lizzy. I have now no doubt that you have heard of Aunt, her sickness, by previous letters from Robert and other friends. It is now 12 weeks since she was taken sick, and until yesterday has been unable to get dressed, I am glad to say however, that she is on the road to recovery. We have with us Aunt Mary, she makes a splendid Doctor for Aunt B. since she came Aunt B. has been gradually improving and yesterday morning she stole out of bed and began cooking stake (sic).
I call your attention to Dr KEELING's sermon on Spiritulism in the Pioneer of the 6th inst On No. 1 sheet you will notice, that I have bracketed some words. the words are added by the (Editor) who is a Spiritulist writer, therefore has writteten up the sermon for the advancement of Spiritulism as you will see by the closeing of his "editorial". Dr KEELING on sunday last fully explained his sermon and dealt particularly on the words added by the editor of the Pioneer. The editor goes as far as to say, that Dr KEELING favours Spiritulism; not by any means says the good Doc. He says I did see some wonderfull things manifested, but I admit at once it is the work of the evil one, and he warns all christians to beware of the craft of Satan, and to put on the whole armour of light to guard against the evils that cross their pathway.
The weather is warm and beautifull more like spring than winter. I notice by the (Aberdeen News) your having terrible snowstorms in England, the paper says the worst that you have had since the Crimea War 1854.
We are all well and each send kind regards as if mentioned individually.
Believe Me
Your Nephew
James WESTMORELAND
PS.
Lizzy wishes me to say she is alive and kicking if she does want to be in the shade
We have had a good laugh at Jim he looks like a man that does not get all his own way. (your letter)"

Part 2 is dated 14 December 1890:
"I appreciate the remark, but when I realise that I am English I admit it is the nature of the English to be obstinate. It was the obstinacy (of the English) that made the States rebell, and under which the Americans secured their Liberty. Since the arrival of your letter I have given the group a close examination, and think a little water mellon juice applied to the fa es would not damage the complexion of any of us.
The Indians are causing quiet (sic) an excitement in the Dakotas. we have had 5000 round of amunaution (sic) and 100 rifles sent to Aberdeen. Aunt Hannah wishes she had not been on the group We are having great fun over your remarks on the Picture
I trust this will find you in good health. Please write back. JW."

NOTES & QUERIES:
1) The name of a James E. EDGOOSE is listed in the 1907 edition of the Superior City Directory at 527 Bay with Mrs. Anna EDGOOSE, Harry EDGOOSE, John W. EDGOOSE, and Joseph E. EDGOOSE. He is unlikely to be a son of the Henry EDGOOSE (1857-1914) who married Annie RENNISON in 1877. In the 1910 census Annie was said to have had 9 children of whom 5 were living. He may be synonymous with James Edgoose WESTMORELAND 1869-1948.

2) Is there any evidence that he was ever called James Edgoose WESTMORELAND?

From C. L. Anderson - Lincolnshire Convicts etc. pages 31, 32, 62)
"1816 April: James BAVIN was sentenced to 4 weeks imprisonment for larceny at the Holland Sessions.
1819 21 October: James BAVIN was sentenced to 7 years transportation at Spalding. After serving about 4 years on a hulk he was given a pardon. Back in circulation at Holbeach he was again charged at Holland Quarter Sessions on 6 May 1824 charged with stealing a goose and was given 7 years transportation for the second time. Now he was sent to Australia, sailing on one of the five Asia ships, arriving at Sydney on 22 February 1825. James BAVIN of Holbeach was described as a labourer where his father John was a carpenter. John BAVIN had been found guilty of killing a sheep and was sentenced to death at the Lent Assize of 1814. That sentence was commuted to transportation but I did not find his name on the Shipping Register. On the 1828 census James BAVIN was shown as aged 28 and working for Mr. CLOSE in the Hunter area."

According to the Lincolnshire Archives' Convicts' Database James BAVIN, labourer, aged 24, was convicted of stealing four geese from Robert WHITE, Samuel TAYLOR, and Henry SANDS at Holland Quarter Sessions on 6 May 1824. The crime was apparently committed with his brother-in-law William JOHNSON

(RG10/1870/34/4)

NOTES & QUERIES:
According to HELEN MCCALLUM (hm.mccallum@ntlworld.com) JAMES EAGLE "was a Gamekeeper. Shortly after getting married he moved to Stonehanger, Abbots Ann, Hants. where he must have stayed until at least 1864, having 7 children. Between then and 1871 he was in Hazlebury, Somerset, and had two more children. He was illiterate. He made his mark on his son's birth certificate"

Later she wrote "I may have a clue as to why JAMES EAGLE went from Abbats Ann to Montacute. WILLIAM PITT's grandfather was a major land holder in Abbats Ann and WILLIAM PITT the Younger laid out the rides in Pitts Wood (apparently the name is a coincidence), Montacute. It may be that the land was still in the same family and so the gamekeeper was moved from one estate to the other."
