MS UCLA: collection 100: box 95

Dear Madam,
I am at present in Devonshire whither your letter has followed me but not your MS. which awaits me at home.

I do not think it is easy to judge of a tale by one chapter, and I am not sure that it would not be best to bring your story to a conclusion, and then send me the whole. It is always dangerous to accept without seeing the whole. Perhaps therefore when the story is finished you would have it left at

Messrs Mozley’s [sic],
6 Paternoster Row

whence it would be forwarded to me. But I must forewarn you that there will probably be a long period after its acceptance before I could make room for it, and that the amount of remuneration is only 2/6 per page. Perhaps these terms may not suit you, in which case I would return the first chapter on my arrival at home.

Yours faithfully
C M Yonge
