My dear Miss Frere

You have chosen a very cold summer for your visit to England and I am afraid you must think you have come there in the winter by mistake. We have had some revolutions in the state of the Monthly Packet, a new partner at Mozley’s1 and a new printer, and my effort for some time past has been to get old material finished up. I have still so many verses on hand that I think I had better return yours.

For the story I think there will probably be room for it about July, if you feel able to go on with it. Eleven months hence sounds a long allowance, but one has to live beforehand with magazines1

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1Although Augusta Frere signed several contributions of fiction to MP, and her cousin Emily Frere some non-fiction, the story is not identifiable.
