Autograph letter signed : Edinburgh, to George Ellis, 1805 May 26.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/730266679

Wondering why he has not written in so long; asking about the Romances; discussing the romance "The Buik of the Most Noble and Vauliant Conquerour, Alexander the Grit" and its origins; hoping that Ellis likes Scott's Lay (of the Last Minstrel); looking forward to Ellis's possible visit to Scotland.
