MS British Library Add MSS 54921: 206-7
Dear Mr Craik
I cannot at all tell whether this is the right length, as the only ‘Golden Treasuries’ I have seen are my own and I do not think they have introductions.1
I can easily add biographical details if you wish it to be longer – but I like to write to my own sense of the needs of the subject and to add or diminish afterwards as required.
Do you know whether Mrs Ritchie is abroad. I was moved to write to her by sympathy with her preface to Miss Mitford, and I have never had an answer
Yours truly
C M Yonge
