MS Lambeth Palace Library MS 2677 f.114

Dear Madam

Bishop Jenner tells me that I should apply to you for permission to use two of Dr Neale’s Songs of the Trades in a little book of poetry for children which I am putting together for Marcus Ward The Songs of the Engine Driver and the Silk Thrower are those that I mean, and I may perhaps also wish to have the Ironfounder, as well as the ballad of Aristomenes1 in the Greek history tales. Hoping that you see no objection to my thus using them, I remain,

yours respectfully
C M Yonge
