[To Margaret Gatty]

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

1‘The Brownies’ had appeared in the MP (December 1865). Maxwell writes: 'Early in 1866 there was a letter from Miss Yonge to say that it [the Brownies] had evoked a perfect chorus of approval and in her opinion it had been the most successful that they had had in the Monthly Packet for a long time.' This letter was sent “shortly afterwards”.
