My dear Mrs. Loudon

The enclosed was written for Jerrold’s Mag Magazine – & the Mag Magazine – ended the following month since then I have had it lying by me – If it will suit you I shall be glad – especially as I fear I shall never to be able to write a fresh story just yet – being in the midst of a novel which must needs be done by early spring.

You are very kind about the Fancy ball – I should like it very much – but I fear me I shall never manage it. Tomorrow morning early I go with some friends to Brighton & shall stay till Saturday. This leaves me only one day for settling costume &c which I never can accomplish I fear –

I am sure it is best to make no feigned apologies – but the plain truth – saying, moreover, that I should have liked to come very much – if it had been practicable. Mrs. Wills told you the comical error of my last note.

Believe me — Ever truly yours DMMulock
