Dear Mr Ingram

Our proofs have crossed so I will keep the present ones till your corrections have arrived –1

You will see that I had set right several of the matters you noticed. I will change paved the way into facilitated. Only will you do so in the proof you have for I think that will least confuse the printers. The sentence about principles and cornerstones is quotation so Bishop Horne is accountable for it, and as the Psalm allusion is characteristic of him I do not think it can be altered.

Metaphors are dangerous. I think I corrected all the other points, but I will keep the sheets to compare with the revise.

Yours truly
C M Yonge

Ma’am Baker is as Paley writes it – no doubt what she was called
