General Notes

The Journal of Sir Walter Scott from the Original Manuscript at Abbotsford
June, 1830
June 11.—In the morning, the usual labour of two hours. God bless that habit of being up at seven! I could do nothing without it, but it keeps me up to the scratch, as they say. I had a letter this morning with deep mourning paper and seal; the mention of my nephew in the first line made me sick, fearing it had related to Walter. It was from poor Sir Thomas Bradford, who has lost his lady, but was indeed an account of Walter, [370] and a good one.

[370] "Little Walter," Thomas Scott's son, who went to India in 1826, ante, vol. i. p. 103. He became a General in the Indian Army, and died in 1873
The Angerton Estates were left to General Bradford's family by Sir Ralph Atkinson, 1749-1827. (from booklet The Parishes of Hartburn, Meldon and Netherwitton by Canon A. F. Donnelly)
1841 census living Upper Harley street
In 1844 he enlarged Hartwell in Hartfield Sussex. He is listed there in the 1851 Post Office Directory
