50 ALBEMARLE STREET LONDON, W.1.

FROM LT. COL. JOHN MURRAY D.S.O. LORD GORELL, C.B.E., M.C. W. FARQUHARSON T.R. GREY

15. 3. '32

Dear Buchan. I feel that I must write & say 'Thank you' for the great pleasure & interest which I have found in reading your Sir Walter Scott It is a most delightful book & deserves the very great success which I am sure it will get.

When you reprint may I suggest that Cartley Hole should be Clarty Hole (p101) & if Sophia was born in 1799 (p89) she must have been 16 not 12 in 1815 (p144) - and do baronets receive the accolade (p177) I thought only knights did.

These are trifles which may have escaped attention - minute blemishes in an A.1. book

Yours ever sincerely

John Murray
