Text: Copy of an extract in Blackwood Letter Book. Hitherto unpublished.
Strathtyrum, St. Andrews | September 5/79.
Willie will have sent you details of Theophrastus and from what I hear the sale is going on steadily. It will not be stepping out of the way to send your cheque in the beginning of October and the sale having gone so much beyond our expectations the question of increasing your lordship had already occurred to us. It will not bear much.
