Dear Mr Palgrave
Thank you much for the little book—I am very glad of the testimony to its popularity.2

I suppose your change was in doubt whether the Bothwell affair was Anteros, as no lover at all; and that on that subject you have changed your mind. I think I incline to the belief that the Casket letters were old ones to Darnley garbled for Elizabeth’s benefit. Have you seen the fragment at Hatfield?

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
