Autograph letter signed : Oxford, to William Angus Knight, 1887 September 5.

Recollecting a walking tour in Scotland, whose participants included Arnold, John Campbell Shairp, Theodore Walrond, and others; detailing the early stages of the hike, from Calder Park, near Glasgow, to Loch Rannoch, and then the splitting of the party into those who wanted to go along Lake Ericht to Dalwhinnie Inn (Shairp and Arnold) and those who wanted to take a longer way to Dalwhinnie, by Kinloch Rannoch (the rest of the walkers); recalling nightfall and the solitude along Lake Ericht, and the forester's cottage at Toper-na-fuosich that Shairp and Arnold eventually happened upon, where they spent the night; commenting on Shairp's early death, its religious significance, and how much he is looking forward to the publication of Knight's memoir of Shairp, "for it will bring the friend whom I can never forget in many ways more vividly before my mind"; explaining that Arthur Hugh Clough, to whom Arnold and Shairp told the story of their hike, used the title "The Bothie of Toper-na-Fuosich" in his "Long Vacation Pastoral" until he discovered that "the word had some unseemly meaning in Gaelic" and changed it to "Tober-na-Vuolich".
