Dear Mr Innes
Can anything be done to secure a rational person looking over the Correspondence in the China Cupboard at the very last, answers to correspondents are given on the final sheet sometimes and never looked over, and there are often odd names – and write as well as one will, the printers go wrong
There is a horrid erratum in the July number – P119 opus mosaicum, tessellated work, has come out opus mosaicuo [or no], tessellated mask
It must be corrected somewhere in this number, but I have not yet got the proof from Miss Coleridge, so I cannot insert it myself, besides that I see she said China Cupboard must be abridged. But if there is not time to send that final proof down, could anyone look at it to see that nothing is so absurdly wrong,
I find too that the last day for receiving Christmas stories was put down in the Jany no as July 31 whereas it always was July 1. Christabel must have mistaken and I missed it; but sister Florence at Bloemfontaine has in consequence missed the 1st and this dream of hers seems to me worthy to go instead of Gretchen’s wish.1 Do you not think so
Yours truly
C M Yonge
