SCOTT, Sir Walter (1771-1832). Autograph letter signed ('Walter Scott') to a Lady, Edinburgh, 2 July, n.y. , professing himself honoured by her letter 'which seems if I rightly understand it to be written under the misapprehension occasioned by the popular report which has ascribed to me the works of the Author of Waverley', dismissing this rumour as 'totally groundless' and firmly asking his correspondent to 'excuse my declining the honour of your confidence', one page, 4to , (weak at folds, lacks integral leaf). Waverley , the first of Scott's novels, was published on 7 July 1814. He did not avow the authorship of the novels until 1827.
