LETTER
Creator
S.R. Crockett
Description
Still bedridden but gaining strength slowly; approves Waverley Book arrangements and Rimmer Black offer; notes no need to bind them to £180 spending given large Scott illustration stock; two points: cannot do book this year so no delivery deadline; with 60,000-70,000 word limit and 5,000 per story, all planned novels would need two volumes (second conditional on first success); provisional title "Tales from Scott Told to my Children"; requests Watt reply to Northern Syndicate that Crockett cannot accept commissions under 4,000 words
