June 23 1859 My dear Sir,

Many thanks for the four books. – I should like to write another child's book - (you know my "Hero" & "Little Lychetts"possibly?) – But after my present book is done I must have a good long rest. – My health has rather given way with over-work. – If it were possible to get any mechanical literary work – such as being "publisher's reader" – or the like – which would give me a settled income without need to write for a year or two – it would be a great blessing to me.

I shall not name anything you tell me about the Magazine to which I heartily wish success – & with such an aim & such help it deserves to do well. – I wish I had health to write half what I wish to write! – but I haven't. The more I think of "Out of the Depths" the more correct do I feel about the good of it – The thoroughly pure Christ-like spirit which alone dares go among politicians & sinners. – Other friends I have talked to – women also – think the same: others do not. But the book must make its way.

– The Cambridge Sunday in such a household as yours must be I still hope for – though I hardly know when it will be. – Your brother must have been one who "yet speaketh" – & lives continually in the love of those left behind.

– If your wife or sister can come to Wildwood any time I hope they will. –

Yours most truly DMulock
