Dear Mr Craik
I shall be very happy to have the Little Duke and the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest manipulated for schools. I should think there would be little to do to the Little Duke as it was written for children. I should have thought the Lances of Lynwood more suitable than the Dove as being on English history.

I know the Eversley country is full of beauty, I once drove through it. I believe there is rather a complication of trains for coming to Winchester or Shawford, our nearest station, but if you and Mrs Craik could come and lunch here it would be very pleasant I shall however be at Miss Moberly’s The Close Winchester all next week

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
