Gentlemen,1
I enclose the slip you have been so good as to forward to me – with a few corrections, to which I would wish to add that I have been the author of ‘the Kings of England,’ and of ‘Landmarks of History’ [‘] Ancient’, ‘Middle Ages’ and ‘Modern’ being a compendium of Universal History for young people. I should prefer no statement being made as to the application of the proceeds of my publications

your obt servt
C M Yonge
