My dear Madam

I well remember the warm interest that Mr Keble took in your poem, indeed one sentence in the notice was his own. The illustrated edition to which you allude of the Christian Year, must I think be either one with some photographs or else one with illuminations both of which were got up with little or no sanction from Mr Keble

Parker of Oxford is the only publisher to whom you could apply, but the copyright and the whole authority over the poems now belong to Mr Keble’s nephew – the Revd T Keble (junior) Bussage, Bisley, Stroud. Sir John Coleridge has nothing to do with them now.

I should recommend your waiting till the drawings have been exhibited as then there will be something definite and known to mention, and you will be better able to judge of the impression they make on the general public

I do not know what other advice to give, but I have always found much difficulty in getting publishers to accept illustrations that I care for.

Yours truly
C M Yonge
