Sending him a copy of a book that was in his last catalogue and that Walter Scott did not believe he owned and might like to have; adding "...if I do therein too bold a thing, WS is to blame as much as myself;" mentioning that a mutual acquaintance had read "all that is in type of Kirkton with increased pleasure" and suggesting that he would enjoy a conversation with him should he see him.
