Dear Sir

Among the reviews remember the Art Journal. And But I think if you were to send Rhoda & Cola together to Mrs. Hall . She will review them both at once. And As she promised long since. This will be better than sending to the “ Art-Journal Art Journal ”, generally –

Frazer Frasers too would probably notice it – as I have written for them sometime & Mr. J. W. Harper has kuoor & asked about Cola more than once – There – & in with the Sunday Times – perhaps it would be as well to mention my name – the account of my knowing the people thereto belonging.

Thank you for the copies just received. I am really pleased to see Cola in such goodly attire –

Very Sincerely yrs yours DMMulock.

I wish you would send me proofs of the History of a Household – the Eds Editors – has not done so — & consequently I don’t feel quite satisfied with the pros pect – I always like to make everything as good as I can –
