Dear Mr Craik

There is a new volume of Cameos just ready to come out, ending at Queen Elizabeth’s death. I suppose it must be called ‘Wars of the Reformation’ I do not like the term Wars of Religion.

I am also finishing off Stray Pearls, which will be completed in the Monthly Packet in June, in 32 or 33 chapters – so I suppose it may come out about that time.

It is a sort of continuation of the Chaplet of Pearls in the time of the Fronde, when the cavaliers were in exile.

Will you kindly desire a copy of Magnum Bonum and of the Clever Woman to be sent me

Yours very truly
C M Yonge
