MS location unknown. This fragment printed in Mary J. Y. Harris, Memoirs of Frances Mary Peard, (1903) 48-49.

My clever woman,1 instead of living alone as she intended when you were here, has had a flirtation with three magazines, and is at present engaged to Hogg’s Churchman’s Family Magazine if she can agree to settlements.

1The Clever Woman of the Family. Harris writes of CMY: “No doubt the imaginary people of her own creation were to her as real friends as any others, but to the uninitiated who received her letters this impartiality was a little confusing. Some of her letters preserved by Miss Peard are examples, though not so typical as some others.”
