Evidence:
Quoted from Mrs Maxwell Scott: 'My cousin, Baroness von Appell (grand-daughter of Sir Walter [Scott]'s brother Thomas) will be one of those most interested in these letters. Her mother was the Eliza mentioned by my great-aunt Anne in one letter, and was a most clever and delightful lady, whose reading aloud of Emma is one of the remembrances of my girlhood.'
