Dear Sir,

I have just found in my desk the enclosed chapter – belonging to Vol. Volume 2nd – It must have been accidentally omitted when I made up the parcel. Will you kindly replace it in the M.S. manuscript of "Olive" – I know you will oblige me with an answer concerning the novel – as soon as you can. – & I rest

Very truly yours DMMulock Tuesday March 24th –

I did not ask to see you the day I called with the M.S. manuscript – before I was in haste – & besides having said all I needed to say in the note – I thought it a pity to encroach on your time further –

1 Dinah Craik's second novel, Olive, was published by Chapman & Hall in 1850. In proximate years, March 24th only falls on a Tuesday in 1846 and 1857. Craik's extant letters do not suggest that she had written and sent out a manuscript of Olive four years before it was published. Thus, it seems most likely that she is referring to the Revised Cheap edition of Olive, published seven years after the original in 1857. "Novels by the Author of 'John Halifax, Gentleman,'" North British Review, vol. 29 (1858): 466.
