“Monthly Packet” 6, Paternoster Row, London, E.C.
May 20th [c. 1880]

MS Princeton University, Parrish Collection

Dear Miss Routledge

King Charles will come – if the Cameos and their author and the Monthly packet survive so long – in his due season – which cannot well be anticipated.1 But I am afraid a defence out of the Monthly Packet would not satisfy his enemies. Would it not be better to go to the fountain head? Clarendon’s History of the Rebellion is not a book hard to get at.

Or Guizot’s history of the English Rebellion which is a very fair book, and being the judgment of a statesman cannot be sneered at.

Yours truly
C M Yonge

1The 'Cameos from English History' series in MP reached the reign of Charles I in March 1884.
