[William Knight, Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of St Andrews] Autograph Letter Signed to 'My dear Robert'

2pp., 12mo. On bifolium. In fair condition, on lightly-aged paper. In addition to the message he left for the recipient's guest 'as to Carnegie', he asks him to tell his father-in-law (the London parliamentary bookseller P. S. King?) 'that it will be a very great favour if he sends me, to glance over, those letters he spoke of'. He undertakes to 'return them at once', and gives his address in Aberdeenshire for August and September. He has 'called twice on the chance of seeing Mrs. Roberts to say Goodbye', and asks the recipient to 'say it for me, in kindly fashion'. In a postscript he points out that he has himself met 'all the charges of my stay in the Hotel'. From the papers of P. S. King (1819-1908).
