MS UCLA: collection 100: box 95
Dear Mr Duncan
I am glad you have come to another edition.1 I am looking at the corrections, beginning at the end and hoping to finish by post time.
Sir Walter Scott spells Stewart thus—and I was told that Stuart was only adopted when the family forgot the proper spelling of their name in France.
I made the genealogy through the Scottish kings instead of through the wife of Henry I better to introduce their names and as more direct.
I cannot think how those errors were left in the genealogy. I have set them right also Cyprus.
In 173, I think we may let George III’s character alone. I have no doubt he did raise the tone of his court.
All the other things are slips which I am very glad to set right.
Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
I thought it was better at p 212 to say the Duke of Wellington soon became Prime Minister than to put in an unimportant name.
