Chilchester Lodge Beckenham Kent My dear Sir

I should like much to be on the staff of "Blackwood" — May I send this paper — the first of a series which I thought of — to write at perfectly indefinite times, during the intervals of my next novel. —

— You will not think me a stranger, though I no longer sign "DMMulock" but

Yours very truly DMCraik
