My dear Miss Smith

I enclose a cheque for the amount of the Banks of the Thorne that has gone in this time, and I think has been very much liked.

I have had an offer of Mrs Sherwood’s Life from a person who can get at something about her privately so I thought you would not mind my accepting it, as a little beyond a published memoir is such a gain.1

You see the Packet is flourishing and can pay a little more this time

yours sincerely

C M Yonge

1Carter Smith had evidently offered to contribute a life of Sherwood to the Biographies of Good Women; however none appeared in either of the two series.
