Introduction

This is William Bell Scott's letter of August 1869 to an unknown correspondent. Its comment on DGR's condition at Penkill Castle, where the two were then staying together, is interesting. The letter contains Scott's fair copy of the first of DGR's pair of the “Church Porches” sonnets.
