“Abbotsford, Thursday.
“My Dear Sir—Damn Sir—My Dear Moore,

“Few things could give me more pleasure than your realizing the prospect your letter holds out to me. We are at Abbotsford fixtures till 10th November, when my official duty, for I am ‘slave to an hour and vassal to a bell,’ calls me to Edinburgh. I hope you will give me as much of your time as you can—no one will value it more highly.

“You keep the great north road till you come to the last stage in England, Cornhill, and then take up the Tweed to Kelso. If I knew what day you would be at Kelso, I would come down, and do the honours of Tweedside, by bringing you here, and showing you
LETTER TO MR MOORE.91
any thing that is remarkable by the way; but though I could start at a moment’s warning, I should scarce, I fear, have time to receive a note from Newcastle soon enough to admit of my reaching you at Kelso. Drop me a line, however, at all events; and, in coming from Kelso to Melrose and Abbotsford, be sure to keep the southern side of the Tweed, both because it is far the pleasantest route, and because I will come a few miles to take the chance of meeting you. You do not mention whether you have any fellow-travellers. We have plenty of accommodation for any part of your family, or any friend, who may be with you.—Yours, in great joy and expectation,

Walter Scott.”
