To Arthur Duke Yonge [?]
Elderfield,
Decr 12th [?1873]

MS Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, MA 1485

My dear Arthur1

All thanks for this most interesting letter as well as for the subsequent extracts.  I hope to collect all ideas, and to judge whether or how the abridgement is to be made, since at present each person wants to have taken out whatever does not suit his own particular line and I am not quite sure that one volume in small print will not satisfy them all, but there is a whole multitude of corrections to be made

your affectionate cousin

CM Yonge
