SCOTT
(Hugh Stowell, 1862-1903, Novelist under the pseudonym 'Henry Seton Merriman')
Long Autograph Letter Signed to Moody,
thanking him for the "account of your wanderings ... I am afraid we shall cross each other somewhere in France ... I am going for that local colour which you brushed into my dustpan for me in Holland . Since the New Year we have been in Cornwall ... Ethel is working hard in the studio of an impressionist Newlyn artist ... There is a colony of these gentlemen here and some verge on the farcical ... the War fills all minds and the most noticeable effect is the knitting together of the classes ... Baden-Powell came to us at Hook once so we are interested in Mafeking. I have a good many school-fellows in it ... The general feeling is one of doubt about Buller and full confidence in Roberts. Of deeds done, the medical branch is universally allowed to have come in an easy first ... compared to the continental armies our officers are a lot of gentlemen having a good time. For one hours work done by - say a major - his German colleague puts in twelve, and a Frenchman thirteen. I am pegging away at second-rate fiction ... America is awaking to my humble existence ..." with a postscript that when "Someone asked Kitchener if he was going to re-organize the transport, 'I am going to organise it' he answered", 4 sides 8vo., Penzance, 13th February
