To the Reverend James Duncan?

Dear Sir1

I think it would be well to send me a set of sheets of What to Read, that I might add to them or cancel them on occasion. I know there are some good books of this winter not added, and Goldhanger Woods,2 and I have not seen a sheet since before Christmas. I am afraid the books may be forgotten and omitted if I do not set them down soon

Yours &c
C M Yonge

2Mary and Catherine Lee, Goldhanger Woods: A Child's Romance (London: National Society 1886). Mary Lee had collaborated with CMY on The Miz Maze (1883).
