MS British Library Add MSS 54921: 251-2

Dear Mr Macmillan
I believe I wrote before and asked whether you thought it worth while to revive two or three books of mine that have gone out of print. I have been asked about them again, which leads me to write. ‘The Two Guardians’ and ‘Henrietta’s Wish’ were published by Masters and went through three editions at least, then I heard no more of them and his business has been given up. The copyright is mine.

They are both ‘stories for young people’ and were a good deal liked and honestly I think there is good work in them.

Kenneth or the Rear Guard of the Grand Army was published by Parker of Oxford. I believe he has let it drop, but there must be some merit in it since Mr E Arnold wrote to ask permission to make extracts in a Reading book

I thank you much for the beautiful series on Natural History. The birds delight me much

Yours very truly
C M Yonge
