Dear Madam

The illustrations are most beautiful and I am very much struck with the expressiveness and good drawing of all the animals. Unfortunately I have mislaid your first letter and cannot refer to it, so that I am not sure whether it was sent with a view to future publications, or to plans of publishing it.

I have no power to change my own illustrators, but if you liked, I could send it to Macmillans and beg them to ask the same hand to illustrate some of my books

yours truly
C M Yonge
