“Shandwick Place, 4th June, 1829.
“My dear Lockhart,

“I have a commission for you to execute for me, which I shall deliver in a few words. I am now in possession of my own copyrights of every kind, excepting a few things in Longman’s hands, and which I am offered

* Some little time before his death, the worthy Sheriff-substitute of Jedburgh received a complete set of his friend’s works, with this inscription:—“To Robert Shortreed, Esq., the friend of the author from youth to age, and his guide and companion upon many an expedition among the Border hills, in quest of the materials of legendary lore which have at length filled so many volumes, this collection of the results of their former rambles is presented by his sincere friend, Walter Scott.”

THE OPUS MAGNUM, &c.—1829.195
on very fair terms—and a fourth share of Marmion, which is in the possession of our friend Murray. Now, I should consider it a great favour if Mr Murray would part with it at what he may consider as a fair rate, and would be most happy to show my sense of obligation by assisting his views and speculations as far as lies in my power. I wish you could learn as soon as you can Mr Murray’s sentiments on this subject, as they would weigh with me in what I am about to arrange as to the collected edition. The Waverley Novels are doing very well indeed.

“I put you to a shilling’s expense, as I wish a speedy answer to the above query. I am always, with love to Sophia, affectionately yours,

Walter Scott.”
