November [1850]

MS location unknown. This fragment printed in Romanes, Appreciation 54

You really must beg, borrow or steal something to help me.1 After this winter I shall get on better, but there are The Two Guardians and the Landmarks of History to finish before I can feel really at ease in giving my mind to this affair. I am rather afraid of spoiling the Landmarks by getting into a hurry. If you can send me something, I think we could meet the first of January, but I am sure I cannot single-handed. . . .I wish it had found a name; if there was any word to express ‘for Confirmation girls’ it would be the thing. . . .

1i.e. to provide material for the new magazine, the first issue of which appeared on 1 January 1851 under the title The Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Younger Members of the English Church.
