Has found a fine terrace at Middleton Moor.
The measurements differ to a startling degree. Asks WK to engage the professional surveyor at Melrose to survey the heights again.
The surveyor’s report has left RC even more puzzled and he may have to give up the Eildons altogether.
Has discovered Mr Mitchell’s assistant added in 28′ erroneously, but that still leaves anomalies.
