Scott indicates that, while he has considered Beaumont and Fletcher a great deal, he cannot think of interfering with Gilchrist's edition. Thanks him for a pamphlet on the Jonsonian controversy, yet he fears "there was some discension between him and Shakespeare." Year of letter based on postmark.
Indicates that Lord Exeter would permit Harding to make drawings from paintings in Exeter's collection.
Scott mentions the Variorum Shakespeare and quotes from King Lear: "Saint Withold footed thrice the wold / He met the night-mare & her nine fold."
Letter largely concerns John Eckford's claim to the estate at Lithgow. Makes a passing, parenthetical Shakespeare reference: "(the great point desiderated by Othello in the case of his wife)"
To the publisher Walter Scott, thanking him for "Mr. Shaw's book. I have enjoyed reading it exceedingly." Likely referring to Bernard Shaw, The quinessence of Ibsenism, published by Scott in September 1891.
