MS Girton College Cambridge, Yonge IV 15

Dear Mr Innes
Thank you much for what was useless trouble. I thought Stanford was sure to have had such maps reasonably cheap for travellers.1 There is a good little geological map of England in Letts’s atlas, but the book is very badly bound, and that one map in my copy has some how been lost.

I think there are small editions of Keith Johnstone- but his publisher is Blackwood, I suppose he has an office in London but I do not know where. I am astonished at the expensiveness in these days of chromolithography But unless Blackwood is near at hand, or you have a catalogue which would shew if Cassell has a cheap one, pray do not take any more trouble

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

Perhaps the best way would be to ask Blackwood and Cassell to send me a catalogue

1Edward Stanford opened a specialist map shop in 1853 which is still (2010) operating.
