Feb 2nd 1877
Dear Mr Craik, Thinking it over I had rather, since you are so kind, keep the £200 on credit, as I think the receipt for /this next year, considering the Cameos and the two French histories must a good deal more than cover that sum, and it is convenient to me to have it in hand just now Yours truly C M Yonge ... continue reading

My dear Mr Macmillan

There is something in Mr Freeman’s essays that he wants me to look at. Would you be so kind as to let me have them - it is the volume with Charles the Bold in it

I hope the two French histories will come out right at last!

I always suppose some one is making holiday in August so I shall direct this so as to be opened by either you or Mr Craik

Yours ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan

Thank you for the proof of the Primer, I hope to send it with additions in another week or so, as soon as I have finished what I have to do for Mr Freeman

I am glad you told me about the printer I wish printers would always mark their proofs visibly

Yours truly C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan

I am sending today a third instalment of the Primer with additions, I hope you have had the others safely. I have sent them to you instead of the printers to save further mistakes and will follow them up with the rest

Yours sincerely C M Yonge

Sept 11th 1877

Dear Mr Macmillan

Please let me have the rest of the Primer I thought I had it all, but I cannot find further than what I send.

I am waiting for Mr Freeman’s orders before I send back the French history

Yours sincerely C M Yonge

Sept 25th [1877]

Dear Mr Craik

I am sure I ought to be satisfied, considering too the sum for the copyrights in March, but just one question. Have I ever been paid for the last volume of Cameos, I do not think I have, as it came out just after last years settlement I have always had £100 for each volume.

I am afraid I have been very stupid about both French histories and I am still waiting for ... continue reading

March 19th 1878

Dear Mr Craik

I send 4 chapters of the Story of the Moors I will send some more as soon as I have touched it up. I think you may reckon on 30 chapters - 22 are written and bring me to Peter the cruel, but the actual siege of Granada will take up a good deal of room

About the little French history, I went over and added to the sheets as far as I ... continue reading

Dear Mr Craik

They have only sent me the first 19 columns of the French primer, which I had [illegible] and which only want a little correction of the [illegible]. What I want is the latter half which I know was once set up, but which has not been lengthened, as this earlier part has been

Yours truly C M Yonge

April 2nd 1878

Dear Mr Craik

I am exceedingly puzzled. I am sure I wrote on to the end of the history of France, and that Mr Greene had it and wrote to me that it only came to 86 pp, and that I must make it longer. What can have become of the latter part? What did he go upon if he had it not in type to the end? Besides, I believe I had it in ... continue reading

April 5th 1878

Dear Mr Craik

I am afraid the last 3d of the Primer is lost. I will re write it after my outing. Happily it is only 40 pp at most - I hope waiting will not be troublesome. Here is another instalment of 'The Story of the Christians and Moors in Spain'

Yours truly C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan

I am today sending Clay the last copy for the Scripture Readings, I suppose we may consider now whether the five volumes can be made more compact and profitable, and I hope Clay will finish off the present one quickly.

Thanks for sending all these notices of the Primer. It is odd I thought I had written up to MacMahon’s election, but perhaps Mr Green thought the siege made a better conclusion - and ... continue reading

Dear Mr Craik

Many, many thanks for prompt payment, an agreeable sight on a winter’s morning I think the story in the Monthly Packet will finish there about next spring It is not longer than the Three Brides, but has been in short chapters. I have not finished writing it yet, but the beginning may be printed when it is convenient. I am correcting the Moors and Christians gradually, and will send the result ... continue reading

March 8th 1879

Dear Mr Craik

I enclose the receipts and agreement with many thanks. I hope the Primer is doing well. One Blunder ought to be set right. I can’t help thinking it must have been a misprint. I knew it so well - ie that the Karling line had not died out - but been set aside.

I have done a good many correction to the Christians & Moors and will finish them up when wanted.

As a matter ... continue reading

March 18th 1879

Dear Sir

I am obliged by your letter, but the terms are much below what I am generally in the habit of receiving e.g. I have two pence royalty on that little Primer of French history which sells for a shilling

Neither should I wish much to under take Sir Philip Sidney, feeling the subject rather hackneyed

I remain Yours truly C M Yonge
