MS Mrs Caroline Fairclough/11

My dear Miss Butler

Mr Mozley shall have a jog, but I think the time you fix is nearly the natural one. There will be rather a crowd in the December number as I had to put off a long beautiful story till I could get it in whole, and those old notes on Roumelia must be finished off with the year, so I am afraid of more than a note on the Ursulines (What a clever sketch that is in the letter) I hope it will turn out that the Germans keep the old rule, for a contradiction is so apt to spoil the air of reality in a story. Perhaps we might have an Ursuline paper by and by, but Decr is preoccupied. I am glad of the future hopes. I was interrupted here, and am not sure what I was going to say.

yours sincerely

C M Yonge

1Rough Notes of a Ride in Roumelia ran as a series in MP (July 1855-December 1856). In MP(November 1856), 360, a half-page note appeared about the treatment of the Ursulines in Butler's novel Likes and Dislikes, which may be what is referred to here.
