MS Girton College Cambridge, Yonge IV 4

Dear Mr Innes,

People are continually writing in the Autumn to ask me to tell them of cheap easy dramas to be acted by their pupils – gentle or simple. I have just had to decline two such plays for the Packet because I do not think they suit in a magazine and I have no room but I do believe that to published them in a very cheap form at so much per dozen copies in good time before Christmas would answer well.

One is Eastern, written for Bible class boys by Miss Wood, Elmwood, Bromley Road, Beckenham, the same who made the grand pictorial map of Palestine. It has been acted by them and I know of many people who want such things – If you would write to her she would send it.

The other is drawing room – founded on the White Cat, and is by Miss Constance Prevost1, Abbey Grange[,] Street, Somerset. She is a grand-niece of Mr Keble and of considerable ability

Yours truly
C M Yonge

1This play was published in Prevost's Terra Cotta Plays (1888).
