J. G. Frazer to Howitt 24 July 1899

will, I shall be very grateful.
I do not think that by citing a
few facts from her collection I
should be forestalling the interest
of her book when it is published,
as i hope it will be before long.
Indeed my occasional citation to it
and giving some specimens of it,
might help perhaps to open the
eyes of publishers and the public
to its value. If Miss Howitt
graciously grants my request, will
you be so good as to send me
a note to that effect? The
printing of my book will
begin very soon, but as I
am to be allowed to keep it
all in slip till near the end, I
shall be able, on hearing from
you in some three months' time
