My dear Sir
I am much obliged by your flattering offer but I do not wish to depart from my rule of never parting with my copyright

My present view is to print 5000 at my own cost, requesting you to publish them on commission.

My own work in the M.S is not fully completed but I hope soon to have it ready

Yours truly
C M Yonge

I should be obliged if you would send me a copy of Redclyffe Heartsease & the Little Duke
