Apr April 22. 1859 Dear Sir

I have looked for you several Fridays – & shall still – but this note is business. Do you incline to publish children’s books? – A lady I know has translated “The Swan-Maiden” from the German. – one of the nicest of the kind I have seen – & not Englished before I believe. – Could you make an offer for it? – I have the M.S. manuscript & would send it. –

For your kind invitation many thanks – though how long it may stand over I know not – I rarely can leave home. – I should have written sooner – but for a lame right hand. –

Yours very truly Dinah Mulock
