Not pretty, yet it is an official burgh document, signed by Thomas Tod, the Burgh clerk and issued to George Sharp of Hoddam on 6th August 1718. It probably had a seal suspended from the base. Browning and creases, 18.5cm tall. George Sharp was the laird of Hoddam in Annandale, and I believe he was a merchant._____________PLEASE REALLY NOTE THIS: If this manuscript is to be sent outwith the UK, then following payment, I am lawfully bound to apply to the British Government for an export licence. I cannot legally send this overseas without a licence. The licence is free, and I will obtain it following payment. The department responsible for the licences states 21 working days for their issue, which is usually the case, but sometimes licences have taken up to 40 working days. Please do not let all this licence business put you off - it just means that you have to wait a while. All previous customers have all received their manuscripts - and many still had the export licence attached to the parcel since the Customs had not removed them. They make an interesting official accompaniment to the manuscript!
