Scott;s handwriting is somewhat difficult to read; here is the transcription: "My dear Lord, Our old acquaintance James Farrar was buried yesterday and has in consequence vacated amongst other things his office of Keeper of the record of Entails which has always been held by one of the principal clerks of Lepsons. On the death o…f Mr. Henn it passed to Mr. Farrar as oldest clerk of Lepsons and having now come to be the senior of all my colleagues by in life these ten years service. "I May be perhaps considered as having the same title of preference, but I refer the matter entirely to your Lordship and the Lord Registar to whom as the Head of our body, I have written a few lines & who as well as your Lordship was pleased to look on my request with an eye of favor which I have always experienced where my interests were concerned. Begging kind compliments to Lady Melville, I am ever, my dear Lord Most truly yours, Walter Scott. Edin. 24 January 1829 Scott was almost ruined when the publishing firm of ABallantyne, in which he was a partner, went into bankruptcy in 1826, and spent the rest of his life (6 years) working to pay off his debts.".
