Conditions of lease for the seaweed factory at Middleton/Sandaig, 1876

Letter from factory manager Edward Curtis-Stanford to Argyll Estates requesting a change to the conditions of his lease of the land on which his new seaweed-processing factory is built. Stanford faced several difficulties when building and running the factory, but still had time to write a paper titled `On the Manufacture of Kelp` and other articles about the uses of seaweed and highland medicines using seaweed.
