Summary
Enclosing "perhaps the sort of thing Mr. Jollie wished me to write," noting that it "can be produced or no as circumstances require;" saying he is glad of Lord Newton's final judgment (regarding a claim by a creditor on Scott's accounts with Gibson?), hoping that the decision will take place immediately.
