My dear Mrs Gatty
This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those nursery rhymes, and I think if the word rose was altered she might be supposed to have got into the track of Venus ere her setting. The constellations coming to life amused me much.
Thank you for the two numbers, one of which I sent on to Madame de Witt.
What a spring it is, I am sitting at an open window, feeling like April.
Yours very sincerely
C M Yonge
