Scope and Contents
The letters of Sir Walter Scott, 1792-1831, are to various members of the Shortreed family, and concern Scott's business and social connections with the family. There is also a report (folio 94) of a conversation between Robert and John Shortreed about tours with Scott in Liddesdale, 1824.
