MS Girton College Cambridge, Yonge IV 13

Dear Mr Innes

Many thanks for the account and the cheques for which I enclose receipts.

I will keep the Molyneuxes till you return, as they give much pleasure here.1 I think it should be observed to the author that there is an inconsistency in making the estate come through the mother and then placing a Molyneux ancestry there.

Also I think the Baptism of Eggs is an expression not desirable in a child’s book.

When you return there will be plenty of time to see about the Advertisements for next year

Yours truly
C M Yonge
