MS British Library Add MSS 54921: 173-4

Dear Mr Craik

Thanks for the last set of my books, and for the Kingsley’s whereof we have been going through a course.1

If I might have the payment for the first edition of Beechcroft at Rockstone I should be glad.

I suppose the last volume of Cameos is waiting for its index, but I hope it will be out before the season is over.2

The Reputed Changeling is a much better thing I hope than the Rockstone story, which is really only a continuation for the sake of old friends

I suppose it will soon be ready. Please let these copies be sent, and the sheets to Tauchnitz.

I hear that the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest is much used as a class book in Switzerland

Yours truly
C M Yonge
