MS: National Library of Scotland. Endorsed: London 7 June 1853 | Miss Evans | accepts article on | Prison Discipline.
42 Strand | June 7. 1853.
My dear Sir
I at once communicated to Mr. Chapman the proposition contained in your letter of the 2nd, but I have been unable to send you a definite answer until this morning.
We shall be happy to accept an article from you on Prison Discipline, 169 but we must beg you to allow us the option of deferring its insertion until January, unless public discussion on the question should render it peculiarly seasonable in October, in which case we shall of course be anxious to print it at once.
Hoping soon to have the pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Combe, I am, my dear Sir,
Yours very truly
Marian Evans.
I write in haste, and must trust to your goodness to excuse the brevity of my answer to your letter.
