MS British Library Add MSS 54920: 123-4

Dear Mr Macmillan,
I suppose the Prince and the Page will be out next week, so I enclose a list of the presentation copies. I hope I sent back the last proof, but it was only of the index, so it matters not at all, unless it has caused a delay. It has been a confused week, for the little girl, after some days of hopeful improvement suddenly lost ground and died early on Thursday morning. The other children have had the disorder favourably and are all well. I hope your party at the Elms are well, and will have a more joyous Christmas than has come to us.

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
