of this letter, but I am
a very ardent admirer
of your books, and also
the one in question
concerns a period of
Scottish History immediately
leading up to one of which
I am a keen student, and
it strikes me to be a pity
that there should be any
errors in a book
which must go down to
posterity as a classic
history of Montrose.

Yrs. faithfully
