"I have before ine:- an article headed .

rumor -fat Sir Wilfrid Lgurieris
about to receive a peerage, and goes- '

Stirline and Viscount Canada, but
that the the titles' existed fey so short

writing to you is to point out that
thetitles exist now, and always have
existed since- their ereation in 1621,
and, belong to my family; as the sold .
direct representatives of Henry „Alex-
ander, fiftb, Earl of Stirline. In the,
early part of the last century the
title, but not the.property, was claim -
cd by a member of another branch .
