[1854] My dear Sir

Have you got or are thinking to have – a Frazer Fraser review of “Balder – ” the new poem which critics are squabbling over – & nine-tenths stating nine different facts there-about? – Because your ancient friend the author of “Bertha – ” is writing a capital review of the same – & I would send it – save that I would like to know if you are filled up, first. that no time may be lost.

Very truly yours DinahMulock 12 Melville Terrace Torriano Avenue

You asked me long ago about the tale I spoke of – it was Avillion – your friend of “Bertha” has been busy over a continuous periodical story – or you would have heard from her again. She is a very clever woman.
