Dear Mr Macmillan
I hope to send all but the three or four concluding chapters of my story, A Release or Caroline’s French Kindred tomorrow

I should very much like them to appear in St Nicholas, but the difficulty is that the really first part is in the Christmas Number of the Monthly Packet for 1893, and if this story appeared separately, I must rewrite the mise en scene, as I suppose the republication of Caroline’s Defiance would be objected to. I cannot lay my hand on the Xmas number, perhaps you could procure it from Mr Innes. I doubt however whether my story has enough of the child element in it for St Nicholas

Yours very truly
C M Yonge
