Dear Mr. Parker

The three tales “A Low marriage” – “The Double House” – & “The Last House in Cecil St.” I don’t wish anywhere but in Frazer Fraser – my only wish for their quick publication was an on account of the money – as I have been too ill to earn anything for a long time. – But now my brother is able to help me so much that I shall not need it yet. – so your time will be mine for the tales. –

Thank you for the offered introduction – but his time will be so full & his movements so uncertain that it would have been almost hopeless the delivering it. But he bade me convey his thanks to you. –

He sailed on Sunday last in the Barrackpore for Balaklava – with every cheerful hope. –

I suppose it is vain to ask after your poor brother?

Very truly yours Dinah Mulock Lynover Cottage – Friday.
