My dear Sir

Mr. Hervey thinks I should tell you of the excellent review there is of the Ogilvies in the Manchester Examiner & Times of Dec December 1 –

I hope the book is progressing & selling as you could desire.

Your other novel – (it give me great satisfaction to say yours) is at the middle of vol volume II already. I have carefully gathered up all the faults found with The Ogilvies – so as to avoid them in the next – & I do really believe it will be a much better novel. At least it shall be if any powers or pains of mine can make it so

Very truly yours DMMulock – 18 Camden St. North. Dec December 4 th
