18 Camden St North Nov November 30th /50 1850 My dear Sir

I do so wish to send out a copy of “the Ogilvies” & “Olive” to my brother in Australia. Will you think me very unconscionable if I were to ask you for the same? – If so, tell me.

How is Olive doing? – Pretty well – so far as I heard in Edinburgh – whence I have just arrived.

I did not answer your last – but I quite agreed in its truth. However, we will hope yet for the best as regards both novels – for both our sakes.

I have begun the third –

Very sincerely yours DMMulock –
