 Walter Scott Manuscripts

My dear Sir
I will call on you in Charlotte Street when I get clear of the court today having a
few words to say to you Yours truly
Walter Scott

[8 July 1825]

Sir

In consequence of the Duke of Roxburghe's very obliging ---- I have been --—-
regularly supplied with fire-stone from Sp-— quarry for the addition which I am at
present building to my house at Abbotsford, and the workmen have accordingly plenty
of work at present in hand. I understand however that owing to some temporary
cause the quarry at Sp--- is not at present working and you will forgive my natural
anxiety to know when it is again likely to go on and to express my hope that if it all
convenient it may be in time to answer the use of my demand which is a pretty large
one. I would not have given you this trouble were it not that I should sustain
considerable inconvenience from any chance that should prevent my getting my
building roofed in by the end of the season.

I remain Sir
Your obedient Servant
Walter Scott

[addressed to Mr. Innes, ????, Near Kelso; docketed 6 June 1822, red wax seal]

Sir

I was honoured with your letter accompanying a volume of poems which I
found lying for me upon my return to town three days ago, a circumstance which I
notice as occasioning my apparent delay in returning my thanks for the favour. I am
afraid there is some mistake in your supposing me a member of the Society you
mention at least I do not at present recollect that I have that honour and concur that
you have been misled by some similarity of name. But I am not the less obliged to the
chance which has given me an opportunity returning thanks to you for the pleasure

 

 with which I have perused your volume of poetry and of expressing my high opinion
of the author’s talents. I have the honour to be
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
Walter Scott
