Dear Mr. Stevenson,

I am very pleased to hear from you again and to have the offer of another story for "Young Folks."

I like the scope of the story, but don't have much broad Scotch in it. I know a little of that goes a long way with our English readers, Mr. Black's Scotch has about as much of the native in it as to give it a Scotch flavour.
