To Alexander Macmillan
Elderfield Otterbourne, Winchester.
Sept 28th [1864]

MS British Library Add MSS 54920: 43-44

Dear Mr Macmillan,
I think of these three photographs the one in profile is prettiest, the full faced decidedly not good, but the third the most characteristic, and the position of the hand comes out the best.1

The more I look at it the better I like it and see the superiority to the other two.

Here is a proof where I have added more than I hope to have to add to future ones. Shall I send the proofs to you or to the printer direct, if the last what is his address.

I am reading les Miserables, and of course am much struck with it

Yours very truly
C. M. Yonge
