Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Look at the 19th Century for October. It has an article in by me which the Editor has called “Stray Thoughts of an India Girl” – I called it Social India but found that changed in the proof. He is so pleased with it & entreats so earnestly that I would write often that I think next time I send him a contribution I will ask him to value it in coin of the realm. It will be a nice way of supplementing my allowance and the 19th Centy. pays rather well.'
