8vo: 2 pp. Bifolium. Good, on lightly creased and discoloured paper, with strip roughly 1.5 x 6 cm missing from top outside corner of first leaf, resulting in loss of around four words. 'Dr. Macleod' [Norman Macleod, 1812-1872, DNB] has just returned 'the M.SS which you were kind enough to submit to me | He likes Miss Robertson's papers, and would be glad to give her a place in "Good Words" if she wrote anything suitable.' Macleod 'is to think over a subject and suggest it the first time he is in town'. In the meantime Miss Robertson 'may be trying her hand upon some subject congenial to herself'. Strahan will have to 'ascertain exactly what his opinion is', but trusts that they 'will be able to get something for her, also, to do in the way of writing'.
