Dear Lord Tweedsmuir,

I am sending you a
copy of my new book and shall
be very pleased if you will accept
it. It is a very short essay
in a period in which I am the
rawest amateur, + its only excuse
is that no one seems to have
given much attention to the
subject before, and I hope my
attempt may help to attract interest
to a very important part of the
history of Scotland. The book
was published this week + is
getting quite good notices.
