Copy outletter book British Library Add MSS. 55384 (1): p. 1
My dear Miss Yonge
I have given our printer orders to go on with the ‘Clever Woman’. I hope you will receive proofs at once & have a rapid supply. It will make some such work as ‘The Trial,’ as you wish.
I have corresponded with a friend of yours about ‘Events of the Month.’1 I think the idea admirable the want is a crying one. But it should be [illegible] and well carried out. I hardly see my way to the right plan.
I have several times wished there was a Don Quixote in our Series. I see you have been telling the story briefly, and you recommend the one in Unwin’s Englishman’s Library. Is it very well done? I almost wish you would do it some day. But we should not lose sight of the more important book
ever dear Miss Yonge
Yours faithfully
A. Macmillan
