Monkhouse wrote a review of Caine's The Deemster in 1888. In a December form letter, here addressed to the Bishop of London, Caine asks for a statement that might be placed in the papers under the Lord Bishop's name. Other letters present are of both a business and personal nature concerning publishing activities and play productions. There is also one letter from Caine's sister Lily, addressed to William Morris Colles, that is on the verso of a letter from Caine himself to Colles.
