Hampstead 23 – Feb February – 1859 Dear Sir,

I thank you much for your long letter of yesterday. Having written to Mr E. Martin saying I would willingly forward any M.S manuscript that I conscientiously thought good – to any magazine I happened to know – I have heard no further from him. Whatever impression it gives about this gentleman – about whom indeed there is yet hardly evidence enough for either you or I to judge – our letter gives me a strong wish to become acquainted with Mr Macmillan. – If you should be in London – will you take the trouble to find me out? – My brother’s house is “Wildwood North End, Hampstead” - whither we remove this week – & I am sure he will happy to see you.

Yours very truly Dinah Mulock –

I gather from your letter that “but ask Dick” – was not satisfactory either. Poor young man – he may like many more have “good intents, marred in the acting of” – but I strongly disapprove the disguised hand & name. –
