MS British Library Add MSS 54921: 68-69

Dear Mr Craik

Thank you first for your answer about magazine rights. I am going to try the paper a little longer.1

Next thanks for the account. I am very glad to know what I have to look to. I suppose scarcity of money tells more on the sale of books than anything else, but all things considered this is very good for the year 1878.

If I find that I want £100 or £150 in advance about Christmas, I dare say you will be kind enough to let me have it

Yours truly
C M Yonge
