  <dc:title>Sir William Forbes to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>He has delayed replying to Beattie's letter of 22 August as he wanted to be able to tell Beattie that he had sold the manuscript. Kincaid, to whom Arbuthnot has spoken, was taken ill which prevented him writing to Cadell in london. Kincaid is now awaiting Cadell's reply to fix the price. The delay will not prejudice the publication</dc:description>
