  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY: Ina Donaldson remembers that James and his brother, Charles, returned to home in Scotland from the USA. They came with their wives. John Dustan Munro accompanied Charles on one of his trips. From some notes provided by Jamesina (Ina) Donaldson (of Mosstodloch, Moray) in a letter dated 3 December, 1997 to Margaret Price.

      Ina Donaldson in a letter dated 27 February, 1998 to Neva and Jim Munro, says that she has a photo of Charlie with his hat and overcoat over his arm. It arrived about Christmas time and Ina's mother, Annie, was in bed very poorly. The post was very late, just the byke at that time and having a few drams didn't help any. Annie was sleeping when Ina opened the packet and Ina wondered if she should speak to her mother. Ina opened the packet and Annie just opened her eyes and said, "Charlie" and then said "Hello Charlie." When the doctor called the next day, Annie said to let him see what she got by post the night before; she said it did her more good that all the pills he had given her. The doctor couldn't get over it.
