Dear Sir,
There are a few slight corrections of the ‘Heir of Redclyffe’ which I will send in a day or two. I am glad to learn that this edition has sold off so well, but I think we should take it into consideration whether it might not be better still further to lessen the price. I have been much urged by influential persons to publish a large and really cheap edition, such as would fall into the hands of a more extensive class of purchasers, and this would certainly well accord with my own views. I see that Lady Catherine Long’s ‘Sir Roland Ashton’2 originally a three volume novel is now published at 2/ and the great sale that books thus cheaply printed obtain would seem to point this out as a desirable measure now that the work has become known
I remain
Yours faithfully
C.M. Yonge
