Letter from James Caird (Roseangle, Dundee, [Angus, Scotland]) to WSC thanking him for a copy of his life of Lord Randolph Churchill and noting that the 'magic lantern' lectures have not been as successful as was hoped. Asks for a report on the usefulness of "the carpet bags from Germany" [bags of goods used to demonstrate the effect on prices of Free Trade] and refers to his telegram enquiring about the Northern Weekly.
