till November 1827, offered to pay his debts
but have never heard any proof of this beyond
a statement of the late T Craig Brown
to this effect. I appreciated your remarks
about our "national dress" in page 242.
I have always been educated to believe that
a Lowlander, & still more a Borderer,
hated & despised the kilt. Please
pardon me for bothering you

Yrs sincerely

Henry Scott
