Dear Mr. Buchan,

How generous and friendly of you to send me your Scott, made doubly precious by its autograph! I feel greatly honoured and delighted by your kindness. This afternoon I have been sampling your pages: they are so wise and understanding, so enthusiastic yet so calm. The border pictures of life and scenery, are wonderfully good.

Pleasure at the gift and in it are hard to disentangle, but it means a great deal to the young and obscure to have the goodwill and generosity of the older and the successful shown them. Thank you very much indeed.

Yours sincerely,

J.H. Baxter
