MS Girton College Cambridge, Yonge IV 9

Dear Mr Innes

Miss Robertson’s two papers Home Daughters and Power are quite safe, only there has not been room for them yet.1 Does she want them back?

I find I cannot get Plataea into the Christmas number, it must come in a regular one. I sent off the bill of fare for the Xmas no yesterday. The first story is Friday’s Child, which I think would afford the best illustration. The little boy listening to the old sailor-gardener’s stories would I think be best – To have him sitting in the wood with the dead dog would be too sad, or too like last year’s picture

Yours truly
C M Yonge

1Neither of Miss Robertson's articles, nor 'Plataea' seem to have been published in MP.
