Dear Mr Macmillan
Do you not think that the parallel history1 should come out in time for Schools to set themselves up with this winter. The one I wrote it for is crying out for it, and it seems in vain to wait for a neater finish to France than the fall of the Empire.
I am glad you give hopes of clearing off the old History of Christian Names I have them bristling with corrections, and I should begin by cutting out large pieces of the book – but alas, I have acquired no further knowledge of the Keltic names – always the weakest point in the book. Only I do know that some part is more desperately wrong than the rest.
I have been writing to Miss Martin about the Founders and Pioneers. I believe they are ready now.
Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
