Dear Sir

The accompanying tale "My First & Last Novel" struck me as being so good that I have ventured to send it for "Blackwood". — Will you give me as early an answer as may be convenient?

The author has long been on the Household Words staff & Hurst & Blackett have now in the press her second novel. — As it is anonymous, I do not tell you her name.

Yours very truly, Dinah Mulock
