This letter to the editor was published in the 1 November 1853 edition of the The Inverness Advertiser.

The best study of the emigration to Van Diemen's land aboard the Sir Allen McNab was done by the Tasmanian historian, Hugh Campbell, and with his permission is transcribed on this website as a file at corn.htm At the time Hugh wrote his study this article detailing the earliest days of the emigration, and a letter by the Coigach Factor, Kenneth MacKenzie about his unpleasant journey on the first part of their trip were not yet known to him.
Though this article mentions 78 passengers (possibly mistranscribed from 73; blurry page), the passenger list names 68.
