ALS signed “Walter Scott,” one page, 7.5 x 8.75, October 1, 1830. Letter to Alexander Young, in part: "I had the pleasure of your letter and will be most happy to see you at Abbotsford with any part of your family who can make it convenient to accompany you. I have no engagement about the 11th but five or six days afterwards I have?of regaling a party of my neighbors with roast beef port and a day's coursing which would rather be a bore to the ladies and you. It is what the prayer book calls a moveable feast so can be easily kept out of your way. Different adverse circumstance made me suspend this little festivity for two or three years so we now resume it under better auspices & my son promises to fill my saddle in the field and my chair at the punchbowl." In very good to fine condition, with short fold splits, reinforcement to the hinge, and seal-related paper loss to the integral address leaf.
