unlucky of late as to
have always the will to work when sitting at the desk hurts me and the
essential propensity to
be lazy when I might like the man whom they wish introductions into
Bridewell with his hands
up against the wall , better work than starve —thus I have laid ---aside
half finished ,
Hope to see you soon ,Yours most faithfully Walter Scott " £250
