8With this I return, corrected, the proofs which came this morning.

10Mrs Schreiner says that she has looked carefully through ‘Dreams’
11but cannot find any suitable quotations, and that therefore she has
12abandoned the idea of inserting any quotation, either on the title
13page or at the beginning of the two parts.
14
15With regards to the dedication: the person by & whom it was to be
16shown to Sir George Grey promised that he (Grey) should see it last
17evening, & that he would at once acquaint her with Grey’s decision.
18As soon as she has this, she will send you the dedication (either to
19Grey or some one else, if he does not consent).
20
21With regard to the other points raised in your letter, she will be
22only too glad to help in any way in facilitating the publication of
23the book, provided it goes forth with all the corrections of her final
24revision.
