SIR WALTER SCOTT (1771-1832)
A one-page autograph letter, signed, 17 lines, from Abbotsford, Sunday [no date], to his daughter Anne, remarking: "I send these few lines under Mr. Ballantynes arms to say how delighted Mama and I are to hear from your letters that Walter continues better -- Mama is very well and in excellent spirits. She walked all through ... today without being much tired -- We have had delicious weather but today there was a little rain. I dare say you will all do the honours handsomely to my friend Miss Edgeworth and we expect to meet you as appointed at Lockharts on Wednesday" (trimmed at head, one corner torn).
