Autograph Letter Signed to <?> Scott.

Diplomat (1844-1915), Secretary of the British Legation at Athens, and scion of the noted banking house. 2 pages, 8vo. In good condition. Presumably written on Scott's appointment as chaplain to the Legation. As Mr Stuart was absent from Athens, Scott's letter of 28 September was opened by Baring. 'It was the first intimation received here of your appointment, though I had heard from Mr Stuart that there was a possibility of your coming out, & the letter which I forward strengthened this opinion. - I suppose you will be released from quarantine on Saturday, & have given orders that somebody should meet you & conduct you to the hotel where I am living, when I will engage a room for you. - I suppose you would hardly perform service next Sunday.'
